We are excited to present Graham Pitzel, Realtor for Re/Max Kitimat and Ilyas Begaliyev, Real Estate Manager, LNG Canada, for a discussion on the current and long term effects of LNG in the region.

Graham will be discussing the effect LNG projects have had on the market in the past few months since the provincial government announced tax breaks for the projects. He will also touch on the comparison between Rio-Tinto’s project and the proposed LNG Canada project, and will ultimately give us his take on the what the future of real estate in Kitimat could look like.

Ilyas Begaliyev will speak about the LNG Canada approach to residential accommodations and workforce accommodations, including potential impacts to Kitimat/Terrace areas, LNG Canada EAC commitments, mitigation and actions to minimize disruptions
