‘planning to-see Kitimat, put
the aluminum smelter on
your list. and let their

. how it’s done.

It’s much harder to see the
powerhouse at Kemano. The
M.N. Nechako, owned by
Alcan, services this village of
260 twice a week. There are
no public accommodations.

Should viewing Kemano
be high on your list, it can
also be reached by helicopter
and amphibian aircraft, and
the people at Alcan would be
happly to advise you.

Experienced hikers can
walk the route along Kildala
Pass. There is a provincial

campground at  Lakelse,
between Kitimat and
Terrace.

This is a Tourism British
