LNG notes also dominated some of the news flow this week, with two stories with LNG ties attracting strong interest, the first our look at the journey to Ottawa by a number of Northern Mayors seeking to move the LNG file ahead with the Federal government.
The second LNG item, that of the NDP government's introduction of a new framework for LNG development in the province.
Our notes on the release of BC Businesses 30 under 30 list for 2018 found wide attention as well, with many readers exploring the review of Prince Rupert's Blair Mirau to the financial list for the year, the City Council member and CEO of Gitmaxmak'ay Nisga'a Society was placed on the list through his work on economic projects with the Society.
And the final item of top five most read for the week puts the focus on Friday's gardening work at the Federal Building on Second Avenue West, with the chopping down of the stand of Cherry Blossom Trees on site making for a controversial topic for many city residents.
