$40 billion megaproject begins to take shape in Kitimat

One year ago, the partners behind LNG Canada formally sanctioned the $40 billion project. Today, roughly 1,000 workers are on site in Kitimat—about half of them from the Kitimat-Terrace area—and that’s just to set the stage for the main construction phase.

Last week, Business in Vancouver toured the project in Kitimat, which is located at the mouth of Douglas Channel, next to the recently upgraded Rio Tinto aluminum smelter.
