Cedar Ridge Builders has been constructing quality homes across Terrace, Kitimat, and surrounding First Nations communities since 2013. Now the largest builder in Northwest BC, Cedar Ridge is a family-rooted company known for fixed-price contracts, on-time delivery, and a rigorous 280-point quality checklist — every home backed by Pacific Home Warranty.
Their expertise in building homes that last is matched by their belief that great neighbourhoods create lasting community. Cedar Ridge is proud to support the Room for All – Building Community conference and the important conversations it enables about housing across Northwest BC.
The District of Kitimat is a municipality situated in Northwest BC on the unceded territory of the Haisla Nation. Known for its unique history as a planned industrial community and its stunning natural surroundings, Kitimat is home to a diverse, growing population that includes long-time residents, workers, families, and newcomers drawn by the region's economic opportunities.
As a community shaped by major industry and sustained growth, the District of Kitimat understands the direct link between economic activity and housing need. Their sponsorship of Room for All reflects a commitment to addressing housing challenges at the regional level — collaboratively and proactively.
LNG Canada operates one of Canada's most significant energy projects — a world-class LNG export facility in Kitimat, BC, connecting Canadian natural gas to global markets. As a joint venture of Shell, Petronas, PetroChina, Mitsubishi Corporation, and KOGAS, LNG Canada brings global scale with deep local roots.
LNG Canada is committed to the communities where they operate — ensuring meaningful benefits flow through local employment, contracting, Indigenous partnerships, and community investment in safety, environmental protection, and workforce development.
Their support of Room for All – Building Community reflects their long-standing commitment to a strong and healthy Northwest BC, recognising that thriving communities need more than industry. They need homes.
The Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine (RDKS) is the regional government serving five municipalities and six electoral areas across Northwest BC. The RDKS is situated within the traditional territories of the Nisga'a, Gitxsan, Wet'suwet'en, Haisla, Tsimshian, Heiltsuk, and Tahltan Nations, and delivers a wide range of services — from planning and development to transit, emergency services, and utilities — across a vast and diverse region.
The RDKS plays a key role in regional housing work, including Housing Needs Assessments, Official Community Plans, and economic development support. Their Platinum sponsorship of Room for All underscores the importance of regional collaboration in addressing Northwest BC's housing challenges.

Metro Testing has been providing materials testing, geotechnical engineering, environmental consulting, and speciality services across BC since 1987 — with offices right here in Terrace and Prince Rupert serving Northwest BC communities and projects.
When it comes to building homes and communities in our region, the technical expertise of companies like Metro Testing is part of what makes it possible. We're grateful to have them behind this important regional conversation on housing.

The Planning Institute of British Columbia's Central North Chapter represents professional planners across one of the province's largest and most diverse regions — covering the Skeena, Kitimat-Stikine, Bulkley Nechako, Fraser-Fort George, Peace River, and beyond. Their region includes Terrace, Kitimat, Prince Rupert, Smithers, Prince George, and many more communities.
Planners are essential voices in housing — from Official Community Plans and zoning to housing needs assessments and development approvals. Having PIBC's Central North Chapter at the table for Room for All reflects the deep connection between professional planning and the housing challenges our communities face.
