Visions of Kitimat



Seaside boardwalk through Minnette Bay?

I think the time has come that Kitimat embrace our coastal living. Minnette Bay could easily be transformed into a significant tourist resort and a place for the community to connect with each other. A loop like board walk would be the must suitble, starting on the mud flats area running through the forested area, connecting up to the Kitamaat Village road then looping back to the mud flats. It would create a great place for evening walks or jogs. The shoreline area in the centre of Minette Bay could see a large development tieing into the boardwalk. It could entertain tourist shops, similiar to those in Prince Rupert’s cow bay, a few coffee shops and maybe even a small hotel. A large portion of Minnette Bay is Haisla Reserve land, so the Haisla would have to be consulted. The Haisla could help develop tourist attractions in the bay, and could operate them as well. The development of Minnette Bay would beĀ great attraction for Kitimat, and it could even meanĀ  several dozen jobs for the community.

Just a thought,

Mark

    Hear! Hear! Why can’t Alcan donate their land to the city and help design and build a waterfront community, they are after all sucking millions from our power grid to sell to the highest bidder.
