Kitimat is a planned city located in the North Coast region of British Columbia, Canada, situated in the Kitimat Valley near the head of the Douglas Channel. The city was established in the 1950s to support the Alcan aluminum smelter operations, making it one of the most significant planned communities in Canadian history. The name "Kitimat" comes from the Tsimshian First Nations term meaning "People of the Snow."
The area has a rich Indigenous heritage, with the Haisla Nation being the traditional stewards of the land. The city's unique layout, designed by Clarence Stein, follows modernist planning principles with separated zones for industry, commerce, and residential areas connected by a network of walking paths.
Despite its industrial foundation, Kitimat is surrounded by spectacular natural scenery including mountains, forests, and waterways, which influence its cultural and recreational activities. The community maintains a blend of industrial heritage and natural beauty, with cultural influences from both its Indigenous roots and the diverse workforce that helped establish the city.
