Monday's City council session accounted for two of our five top items on the week, with notes on a desire from Councillor Cunningham to see council spend more on parks, while our review of the Mayor's comments on the Ridley Island Tax dispute with Port Edward was also of interest for readers.
Two items on the City Council campaign trail also attracted significant readership, as we explored some of the social media pages from the candidates, as well as to take note as to how the Mayor's Hays 2.0 plan seems to have resonated with many of the eight seeking office for the next four years.
As well, our look at the sunset days for the 2018 cruise ship season and the plans for yesterday's Outdoor market also found a large audience.
However, the story which attracted the most interest through the week, put some attention on the state of the city's neighbourhood parks and how one councillor is looking to see the city provide some additional attention towards them in the year ahead.
