From the launch of a court challenge related to the Federal government's approval of the project, to an update from Pacific NorthWest for Prince Rupert City Council, many of our items on the proposed development for the North Coast found an interested audience this week.
Our coverage of other events at City Hall also found a wide readership on the week, with two items making it into the list of five and more than a few others bubbling up just under that bar of our weekly review.
Sports finally broke that grasp of the political and industrial issues from the last seven days, as our item catching up with the success of Prince Rupert's Judd Repole in the Kootenay Junior Hockey league also grabbing a good share of the readers this week.
However, the top story of the week however is once again found in the files of LNG development on the North Coast and the latest twist in the Pacific NorthWest LNG story.
