All of the drama of the week seemed to come out of the Port Edward Candidates forum, where the topic came up for discussion with Port Edward holding firm to its current position of non negotiation on the topic.
Last week's LNG Canada announcement for Kitimat provided North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice with some information sharing work to do, pointing constituents towards an interview that Premier Horgan gave on the issue, as well as to her own interview with Terrace radio station CFNR, where she made note of job creation and other impacts of the project for the region.
With legalization of cannabis set for October 17th, Prince Rupert City Council outlined its path ahead towards creating a commercial zone for the sale of cannabis, a process that will start with a public information forum at Coast Mountain College on November 13th.
And the city's downtown core saw another shift eastward this week, as the Third Avenue Coffee shop moved out of its west side location, moving into the Cow Bay area, taking up the spot recently home to Northern Industrial Sales, that retail operation has now moved into the old Acklands building on George Hills Way.
However, the story which attracted the most interest through the week, was the lengthy appeal to Prince Rupert residents that put many of Mayor Brains themes on the Ridley Island Tax Agreement back into the political discussion for the week, his post making for a stream of commentary from residents of both Prince Rupert and Port Edward, as well as from a number council candidates in the October 20th municipal election.
