FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

May 26, 2026

Building on the success of previous local business initiatives, the Kitimat Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to announce the launch of the LNG Canada Business Growth Fund — the second business-focused funding program supported through LNG Canada.

In total, the fund will provide $150,000 to support businesses in Kitimat and Kitamaat thrive.

The new program is designed to help local businesses invest in improvements that strengthen operations, attract customers, and support long-term success in an ever-evolving economic landscape. Through the LNG Canada Business Growth Fund, eligible businesses can apply for up to $10,000 in rebates for projects in areas such as:

  • Marketing and digital growth
  • Exterior and storefront improvements
  • Productivity-enhancing equipment and tools
  • Employee training and workforce development
  • Customer space revitalization and accessibility improvements

Home-based businesses are also encouraged to apply, provided they meet program eligibility requirements.

As part of the initiative, the Chamber will host a series of information sessions throughout the year to help businesses better understand funding opportunities, explore eligible projects, and maximize the impact of their rebate. Dates for the information sessions will be posted on the Kitimat Chamber of Commerce website and posted in their weekly e-blasts.

The LNG Canada Business Growth Fund reflects a continued investment in strengthening Kitimat’s local business community, encouraging innovation, and helping businesses prepare for future opportunities.

“Supporting local businesses is key to building a strong and resilient community,” says Amy Pike, Community Liaison Officer, LNG Canada. “Through the LNG Canada Business Growth Fund, we’re proud to work alongside the Kitimat Chamber of Commerce to help local businesses invest in their ideas, strengthen their operations, and position themselves for long-term success. We want to see local businesses not only grow but truly thrive as part of Kitimat’s evolving economy.”

To qualify, businesses must hold a valid business license with the District of Kitimat and meet minimum eligibility requirements.
