On British Columbia’s northwest coast, Kitimat is becoming a major gateway for Canadian natural gas with both the LNG Canada mega-project and Haisla Nation-led Cedar LNG project with Pembina.

Kitimat is also home to the long-running Rio Tinto aluminum smelter, which has provided stable employment within the region for decades.
