A report that delivered a bit of cool water on some of the talk on LNG in the province led the way through the last seven days, while an item on the progress to date on one Prince Rupert proposal followed, featuring some notes from the latest update from Aurora LNG and its plans for a development on Digby Island.
One final LNG related item came late in the week yet still found a strong audience, with word that the Lax Kw'alaams Council government had postponed its planned information sessions on the Pacific NorthWest LNG proposal for Lelu Island. Those sessions were scheduled for this coming week and have been postponed until further notice.
A decision from Prince Rupert City council to send a letter to express its support for an oil tanker ban on the North Coast and its opposition to an extension of the deadline for the Northern Gateway process received praise from local environmental groups and proved to be a popular read this week.
And the list of five ends with a look at a Sunday Minor Baseball league tournament that will take place in Port Edward, the all day event providing a sample of the quick growth of the sport and the good reception that it has received in the region.
The top story of the week however, returns to the theme of British Columbia's much discussed LNG Terminal development ambitions.
International Energy Agency study indicates pressures growing for BC's LNG industry -- Items related to LNG proposals on the North Coast seem to constantly attract high attention and this week proved to be no exception, as a large audience reviewed our look at a recent LNG industry survey from the International Energy Agency that suggests a slower pace for development over the next few years for British Columbia.
