Pembina Pipelines announced this week that they had reached a Final Investment Decision for their proposed liquid propane terminal development indicating that they would move forward with their project.
The news arrived in a timely fashion for the City of Prince Rupert which is about to host an Open House to share more background on their plans to develop Watson Island as an Intermodal Trade and Logistics Park.
Another marine incident off the coast of Bella Bella was reported this week as an American tug and fuel laden barge ran into trouble off the Central Coast.
The Tent City may be no more at City Hall, but advocates for the homeless have announced plans to continue their work towards homelessness and the need for affordable housing by forming a community society.
On that theme of homelessness, the Federal Government announced the details of their National Housing Strategy and Skeena-Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen provided his thoughts on the Liberal's plans.
Economic development in Northern British Columbia was also a hot topic this week, as the Prince Rupert Port Authority released their annual review of the economic and labour force impact that the Port has across the region.
