That from the journey to Prince Rupert by Prime Minister Trudeau an event whichc captured a fair bit of attention, in a very short period of time.
Port news however did share some of the spotlight this week as well, with three of our five stories focused on news coming out of the Annual Public meeting held at the North Coast Convention Centre on Tuesday evening.
The only other story to crack the list of five, came from our notes on Monday's official name change for the regional college, as NWCC faded into the sunset, with the morning of Monday introducing Coast Mountain College across all campus locations in the Northwest.
The top story of the week however belongs to Mr. Trudeau, who created quite the buzz with his short stopover in the city, a visit that was framed in matters of reconciliation with First Nations and was catalogued through many options by local residents through Wednesday evening and Thursday morning.
