The Kitimat Chinese Association was founded in 1985. Their purpose was to connect all Chinese Canadians in Kitimat, with the local people too. They encouraged the members involved in the community to show and share Chinese culture with the people in Kitimat. Like activities in Multicultural Day, Canada Day, Canada Cancer Society's Relay of Life, etc. Every year they had three gatherings, summer picnic, Christmas and Chinese New Year. The association disbanded in December 2008 as most of the members got older and retired.

Four members of the "BCDA," likely British Columbia Drama Association. The name tags of three of the four people can be made out: Diane Dowe (or Down) of Prince George (second from left), Bertha Collier (?) of Kitimat (second from right), Fred Dowe (or Down) of Prince George (far right). Estimated to be from the 1960s due to hairstyles.
