Fishing The Kitimat River
Kitimat, British Columbia
There are those who will argue vehemently that if their allotted fishing time is diminished, they will feel older than they'd like to feel. While fishing may not be the "fountain of youth" in itself, ask any avid fisherman what effect a day in the river has on his well-being, and the answer will unanimously suggest - Fishing is a Multi-Vitamin.
Centennial Park
Kitimat, British Columbia
Kitimat is situated in a scenic natural setting at the start of the Douglas Channel. It was built in the early 1950's around the aluminum industry - one of the first "planned" communities in B.C. This downtown park provides a quiet place to relax and take in the beautiful surroundings.
