Tim Hortons: Kitimat

Tim Hortons Dept: Ms. Monaghan, elected to Kitimat s council for the past 38 years, says residents are pinching themselves, wondering if it s all real, according to Globe and Mail. When I announced we would have a Tim Hortons and people would meet me on the street they wouldn t talk about the LNG, they would say We re getting a Tim Hortons, said Ms. Monaghan and once posting a rental vacancy rate of 44.5 per cent, Kitimat now is brimming with construction jobs, fighting traffic jams and worrying about rising rents, said Ms. Monaghan. This month s opening of Kitimat s first Tim Hortons outlet confirmed for Ms. Monaghan that economic reality hasn t fully set in among residents. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
