Photograph of girl with lemon. Kitimat may not be the banana belt but it might qualify as the citrus fruit belt of British Columbia. Three year old Sharon Anne Strecheniuk posed with a monster lemon that has been ripening on a lemon tree in her home for the past eight months. The plant is two years old and has not borne fruit before. Sharon holds a normal lemon to show size of the big fellow.

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.
