Kitimat Indoor Entertainment Centre

Introduction

A group of Kitimat community organizations is exploring the idea of a community-owned indoor entertainment centre in Kitimat, with a bowling alley, indoor mini golf, an arcade, and a dedicated space for youth. Before anything moves forward, we want to understand whether this is something the community would use and value.

This short survey asks how often you might visit and which activities and programs matter most to you. Your answers will directly inform a feasibility study that helps decide whether the centre goes ahead. It takes about 6 to 8 minutes, your responses are anonymous, and there are no right or wrong answers. Thank you for helping shape what this space could become.
