The old CN/VIA station on the waterfront continues to serve as a discussion starter, with Councillor Barry Cunningham the one most inclined at City Council to share some thoughts.
With the release of a pair of financial statements on municipal salaries for Council members and civic employees making for some talk around town, Councillor Wade Niesh took to Social media to provide for his view on some of the conversation of this week.
Another Civic issue grabbed some space in our top five review, with a strong interest in our review of the City Manager's presentation of the City of Prince Rupert Annual Review.
A local industrial shop is gaining some benefits of the expanded environmental response plan towards oil tankers in BC waters, with Broadwater Industries delivering their first oil response vessel for WCMRC in Prince Rupert, with the vessel soon to be relocated to a base in Saanich.
With more concerns being raised about the state of the North Coast fishery, a group of First Nations along the Skeena Watershed have issued a call for a prohibition to be put in place on sport and recreational fishing for this summer.
