Business developments in the aviation world in the Northwest, municipal and federal political notes, the always topical LNG story and an incident requiring police action at the city's high school, all provided the backdrop for our five most read items of the week.
Among the notes of the last seven days that caught the attention of our readers, a new joint venture between Terrace based Hawkair and the Nass Valley community of Gingolx, which will provide training and job opportunities for community members.
The latest in news from the LNG files also found a wide audience this week, as both the Globe and Mail and Vancouver Sun focused on the state of the province's still to be developed LNG industry, with the Sun in particular gaining attention for a string of articles related to the Petronas energy company.
The federal election campaign received a look in from readers, with a large number exploring our notes on the opening of Nathan Cullen's campaign office in Prince Rupert.
Council's moves to return to a previous formula for Permissive Tax Exemptions for Community groups and organizations also was of some interest.
While the late Friday developments related to an incident at Charles Hays Secondary School quickly found a large audience over the weekend as well.
However, when it comes to the most read item of the week, it was the announcement of a new approach for Terrace based Hawkair that by Saturday evening had attracted the most readers of the last seven days.
