With short commutes from affordable homes, state-of-the-art healthcare, recently-announced infrastructure investments, a surplus of residential and commercial land and, of course, unlimited outdoor adventures at your doorstep—endless opportunities await in Northwest BC.

After a decade of lobbying, the Province recently announced an unprecedented investment in local public infrastructure. The region will receive more than $110 million over five years, with $19.5 million for the District of Kitimat; over $34 million each for Prince Rupert and Terrace; a combined $10.3 million for the Village of Hazelton and District of New Hazelton; and almost $12 million for the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine.

It’s a region teeming with opportunities: cross-sector demand, high-paying jobs and countless opportunities for entrepreneurs. The Northwest also boasts modern amenities, laid-back vibes, a real sense of community and thriving cultural scenes. With capital investments easing the burden on taxpayers, the time is now to invest in Northwest BC.

So, what are you waiting for? Contact the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine’s Economic Development Officer Meghan Bowles at 250-615-6100 or [email protected] for more information on investing in Northwest BC.
