Kitimat

Kitimat occupies a coastal mountain valley at the head of Kitimat Arm, a fjord connected to Douglas Channel, in northwestern British Columbia. The Kitimat River runs through the community toward the inlet, while the forested Coast Mountains rise around its industrial waterfront. Developed in the 1950s as a planned town for aluminum production and hydroelectric power, Kitimat remains an important industrial centre on Canada’s Pacific coast. The area lies within Haisla traditional territory, and nearby Kitamaat Village is the home community of the Haisla Nation. River corridors, coastal roads and the long fjord underline the scale of this northern setting.
