Two of our notes from that meeting proved to be popular items for the week, with our original story on the presentation to the Chamber from Tourism Prince Rupert's Chair Scott Farwell, as well as our pictorial look at some of the abandoned buildings of the city both finding a large audience this week.
LNG items also made for some impressive readership levels through the week, with both our story on the musings from Malaysia related to the Lelu Island Terminal project and our review of the signing of a Benefits agreement by the Province with both Lax Kw'alaams and Metlakatla catching much attention.
Rounding out the list for the week was our look at the latest report on elementary education from the Fraser Institute in Vancouver, with the controversial research organization releasing their elementary school rankings for 2017 this week.
A note from the provincial election campaign brings the top five items of the week to a close, as readers explored our review of how both Herb Pond and Jennifer Rice made use of Fairview Terminal as part of their opening themes on economic development on the North Coast.
However, the top story by far is found from our pictorial array of the abandoned buildings in the downtown core and how their state of disrepair is seen by some as presenting the wrong image to visitors.
A not so inviting vision for tourists, or would be investors to be found in downtown area -- Our follow up story that offered up a pictorial to the theme of the abandoned buildings of downtown proved to be one of the most read items of the year to this point. The outline of the story came from our look at this week's Chamber of Commerce meeting where Tourism Prince Rupert's Scott Farwell introduced the theme to the Chamber audience.
