A serious incident at the Fairview Container terminal over the Labour Day weekend which required the closure of the gateway for a period dominated the news on the week, while our story on a proposed marine fuel terminal to be placed on the city's west side also generated a good number of looks from readers.
A number of case files from the Prince Rupert RCMP also found a strong audience over the last seven days, as did our notes on the growing push back from the North Coast on the application from Greyhound to cease service across northern B.C.
Civic politics managed to capture some attention among all the high profile stories of the week, with a fair bit of interest on the announcement from City Council that they were cancelling this months Committee of the Whole session, which includes one of the few opportunities for residents to raise concerns and offer comments on local issues.
The top story of the week however once again takes us to the Prince Rupert waterfront, where the Fairview Container Terminal made news after an incident required the port to close and saw some workers taken to hospital.
