“Galvestan announces LNG terminal to be built here” is one of the main headlines on the front page on the Northern Centinel. www.northernsentinel.com
fingers are crossed that they find long term customers to commit themselves for the plans to go forward.
Another rumour that seems to be lurking around Kitimat includes a possible car parts factory ( Mitsubishi apparently) being built here and employing a few hundred folks. Let’s hope these sorts of rumours are true.
I realize that many of you hate Kitimat. But many people live in Terrace and commute to Kitimat everyday to go to work, it is under a hour driving time. Keep that in mind
Wow such lovely attitudes. No shit Rupert needs something big, but might as well take what you can get while it is there. Better than sitting around waiting for a miracle. Money is money.
that kind of thing requires skilled labour, of which we have none. They will import their own workers, so it won’t make things much different for the rest of us.

Oh ok Hoshq, so I pressume you know the entire population of Northern BC? We have no skilled labourers here in NWBC? I really hope you are only kidding. If not, speak for yourself.
And yes, many people will be “imported” here, but that will only boost the economy even more. People need things to live and survive. Small businesses will benefit, as well as landlords, the real estate agents, etc etc
