Blog Watching: Week ending October 23, 2016


LNG items gathered a fair share of the views this week, as two stories related to the prospects for an LNG industry on the North Coast captured the attention of readers.

Municipal affairs also snared some interest this week, as our story on Mayor Brain's thoughts on a recent article in the weekly paper made it into our top five items of the last seven days.

The recap of a Tuesday night fire in the City was also of interest for readers, as was our look at the latest notes from the UBC Thunderbirds as former Charles Hays Rainmaker Justin McChesney continues forward with his path in Canadian University Basketball.

However, the top story of the week however is to be found from a meeting at the North Coast Convention Centre, where supporters of the LNG industry met this week to learn more about how proposed Terminal locations will change the North Coast.
