The Bistro

Kitimat has been a saving grace for Tim Leduc and his family. The close-knit community and widespread support among residents and fellow entrepreneurs have made their experience as business owners a positive one. Tim is extremely grateful for the opportunities he has been granted in this town and feels that giving back to his community is a way of sharing the love. Serving as a volunteer hockey coach has given Tim a lot of pride in the youth of Kitimat, many of whom have become like family to him.

And as the tides were changing in the Leduc’s professional world, an opportunity for success in the hospitality industry presented itself. Debbie has many years of past experience in local restaurants, and Tim fondly recalls his time spent with his mother and grandmother at a Pizzeria in Ontario in his youth. “It was a goal of ours,” states Tim. “[Restaurants] are a part of our lives!”

With a few years under their belts now, the Leduc family has enjoyed the challenge of satisfying their customer’s expectations. They are very proud to be able to offer live music nights on a regular basis, giving the community a reliable source of entertainment. It is also a great way to showcase all the local talent that Kitimat boasts. “It’s our way of giving back,” beams Tim. “Having customers coming back and tell us how much they enjoy our place, it means more than the money we make.”
