Temporary closure of section of Haisla Boulevard

Due to a required emergency water main repair on June 8, Haisla Boulevard from Lahakas Boulevard to Kuldo Boulevard will be closed between 8:00 p.m. to approximately 4:00 a.m. the following morning.

We apologize for the inconvenience while this work is conducted.

Adjusting parking to support road line painting

Line painting work is being done at both the Upper and Lower City Centre Mall parking lots which will affect availability of parking spaces.

Certain portions of both parking lots will be barricaded, starting Friday, June 9 at 10:00 p.m., and ending on June 11.

The barricades mean no parking is allowed while our painters do their work.

We appreciate your patience. If you have questions about this project, please contact the District of Kitimat at 250-632-8900.
