Kitimat

Kitimat is a different kind of place.  It is a designed community build out of basically nothing in the 1950's the purpose of the town was to house and support the workers at Alcan's aluminium smelting operation.  It is remote, 50 kilometers (30 miles) down a dead end road from the nearest other town (Terrace, which is not huge either).  I could say a lot more, but Wikipedia and the official website do it better:

The short story is we like it here.  Made some wonderful new friends and brought an old friend back to the town of his boyhood.
