A huge “Thank you” to my two “Top Guns” – My Husband and the Canadian “Kemano” Pilot for giving me the ride of my life!!! If you get a chance to take a Helicopter tour next year on Canada Day while in Kitimat, or when visiting us, I highly suggest you do. It was worth every penny! What a Rush!! [See Video]
“Please forgive the “blips” at the front of the video – Google mangled the audio when it was uploaded. Hopefully I will find time to edit and repost it.
Oh… and to quick thank you to… “Ongy”… for giving us the best seats in the house to watch the fireworks display afterwards – you’re a doll!
This is a community plan that Danny Nunes wrote for Kitimat In it he discusses ideas & recommendations he has for the city.
This video gives a tour of many well know locations in Kitimat as he discusses what he would like to see implemented. Way to go Danny!
I think I have already stated how I thought it was unfair that we as homeowners are responsible in maintaining our properties (grass kept a certain height, etc, etc) otherwise we are issued a letter from The District telling us to clean them up or they will for us, and then turn around and bill us for doing so. Yet commercial businesses are allowed to become rundown thus lowering the property values of neighboring businesses.
I hope this is taken seriously this time and that the lawyers will see changes made… and the sooner the better!

The District of Kitimat will explore options for dealing with derelict commercial buildings.
The issue gained national attention, thanks to a video distributed on the internet which showed the dilapidated condition of some abandoned businesses in Service Centre and Nechako Centre.
Councillor Joanne Monaghan, who bitterly complained the video made it appear all of Kitimat was like that, said the District needs a mechanism for dealing with run-down commercial buildings.
She says current provincial laws aren’t very helpful. She says a municipality is allowed to demolish derelect residential properties, but not commercial buildings.
The issue is being referred to the District’s lawyer.
In response to the Globe & Mail and Canadian Free Press article and video published by Dirk Meissner and Megan Leech a group of young individuals took it upon themselves to show Kitimat for what it really is and point out glaring inaccuracies and misinformation throughout it’s length. Bravo gentlemen – well done!!
