POWERHOUSE AT KEMANO Hydro electric power for the Kitimat project is developed at Kemano 50 miles away. Here in a subterranean cavern, carved by rock miners beneath mile high mountain, the powerhouse is located. Water from a chain of lakes have been diverted to drop one-half mile through a man-made tunnel 10 miles long and 35 feet In diameter. The hydro electric power tlms developed at Kemano will eventually be produced on a scale never before attempted. Shown on the map below are the sites of various links in this major aluminum development. tv hit L -ar ' I ' H?- , .. POWER DEVELOPMENT FOR THE KITIMAT PROJECT Here, In British Columbia, where a new industrial empire Is being fashioned, a multi-million dollar aluminum project the largest single undertaking ever promoted by private enterprise is shaping to completion. SMELTER AT KITIMAT The smelter at Kitimat goes into production this summer to produce aluminum at the rate of 91,500 tons annually. Designed for an output of 5.50,000 tons a year, this smelter will eventually become the largest of its kind in the world. HARBOUR AT KITIMAT Located on tidewater, Kitimat has modern harbour and dock facilities for the fast handling of incoming and outgoing cargo. Already In operation, the port is becoming increasingly active. The first shipments of aluminum ore from Jamaica have been received. Kitimat wharves will assist in the growth and expansion of the District by providing access to ocean transport for other regional enterprises as well m the aluminum industry. TOWNSITE AT KITIMAT The Town of Kitimat is gradually rising in the forest clearing. Planned in the tradition of British Columbia, Kitimat has the opportunity of Rotting a new high standard in town planning. Homes are being occupied and soon the initial population will number 6,000 to 7,000 persons where but a few years ago no houses existed. As the aluminum industry grows and new enterprises come into the area, Kitimat will expand. The designs of the Townsite by experts provide for an eventual 50,000 population. FIKST KITOIAT HOMES located on the townsite were opened last winter. Built at high cost because of remoteness of the area from supplies, the houses are being sold to Alcan workers for $14,000 each. y0 ,(f( C3Z0"' i POWERHOUSE ,' m -CY jr Aluninam Ii "packitc iwir." The electricity needed to produce one ton of aluminum would light the average home for nearly a generation! T.y developing abundant, low-cost power at Kitimat, this Canadian enterprise has created employment and income' for the men who build and operate the dams and power house, the docks and smelter and power lines it need; and for the more than one thousand independent Canadian companies who turn aluminum into countless forms important to industry and our own daily living.
