The Saskatoon based band The Sheepdogs,  headlined the evenung performance in Kitimat on Saturday, August 16, 2025, part of LNG Canada’s Big Thank You Party.

Kitimat’s own rock band The Rats, opened the evening performance.

The party, a year in the planning,  celebrated the completion of what could be just the first phase of the construction of LNG Canada’s facility, and the first cargos of liqueified natural gas to Asia in late June.

For a weekend in mid August, the weather was, to be frank, terrible.   The summer weather turned cloudy and cool on Thursday and by Friday and most of Saturday it was pouring rain.

LNG Canada paid for almost everything, the music, the food, the soft drinks, the kid’s zone and the beer garden. Model Milk is an oil patch Calgary based restaurant and caterer.

(That Nashville Hot Fried Chicken was red hot spicy and delicous. I did need a can of coke and a bottle of water to wash it down)

The sun broke through for a while just as the Sheepdogs came on the stage.
