Blog Watching Week Ending November 4, 2018

Now that you've recaptured that lost hour of sleep from the Spring, you can dive into another look back into time, that of our
archive of the five most read items of the week from the blog.

The last seven days offered up a number of themes to explore, provincial politics, the municipal scene from City Hall and a look at the progress for a much anticipated supportive housing facility in the community.

Readers also found a fair bit of interest in the review of a marine incident of April as the Transportation Board released its report into the sinking of the Western Commander near Triple Island.

However the top story of the week generating the most interest was found from a stretch of cleared land on Park Avenue that stands waiting for the first signs of construction for supportive housing in Prince Rupert.
