Located in the heart of the Great Bear Rainforest, the KXDC serves as the primary economic engine for the Kitasoo Xai’xais Nation. Our vision is built upon the principle of sustainable stewardship—ensuring that our marine and terrestrial resources are managed to benefit our people for generations to come. By balancing modern economic development with the preservation of our cultural integrity, we are building a self-reliant economy that provides meaningful opportunities and long-term prosperity for our community.

The KXDC is more than a holding company; we are the strategic architects of our Nation’s economic independence.
Our Structure: We operate as a professionally managed corporation, separate from the political governance of the Band Council. This ensures business decisions are made with long-term stability and commercial excellence in mind.
Our Land: We manage resources within our traditional territories with a “Stewardship First” approach. Every project we undertake must respect the laws and customs of the Kitasoo Xai’xais people.
Every dollar generated by the KXDC is an investment back into Klemtu. From funding language revitalization programs to building modern infrastructure and housing, our work ensures that the Kitasoo Xai’xais Nation remains a vibrant, sovereign, and prosperous people for generations to come.
While many know us through our established businesses like Spirit Bear Lodge or Kitasoo Seafoods, the KXDC provides specialized professional services directly to partners and the community.
KXDC is the primary point of contact for organizations looking to work within our territory. We provide the bridge between global industry standards and local Indigenous knowledge, facilitating partnerships in:
Sustainable Forestry
Marine Logistics & Transportation
Renewable Energy Projects
