Those that explored the Cow Bay were able to make use of the new shelter area that has been opened across from the Atlin Terminal, the new section of the Atlin redevelopment project features a covered area with benches and tables, allowing visitors and residents alike to do some people watching along the boulevard or check up on their emails, or send some streaming video of Prince Rupert back home through social media.

The latest addition to the Atlin redevelopment project is a covered
rest area with work wrapping up on the area just last week

The Cruise ship day for the city comes up on June 13th when the Sojourn makes her first port call on Prince Rupert for 2018, with 450 guests set to explore the region.
