Blog Watching: Week ending April 7, 2019



LNG has jumped back into the news flow with a flourish this week, thanks mostly to some amendments to the province's taxation regimen for the industry, a move which seems to have made for some movement for some ambitions for the industry in the region.

From the week, we reviewed some plans for the Kitimat LNG project, the second LNG terminal project for that community, while up in the Nass, the Nisga'a Lisims Government was hearing some interest from LNG proponents as well.

For Prince Rupert the latest notes on the Wolverine Marine Fuels Terminal indicated that the terminal project for the Prince Rupert waterfront continues along its path towards development.

And it was a busy week for members of the RCMP in the Prince Rupert area, with the Mounties dispatched to a number of calls that gained notice, included on the list a homicide investigation  that continues in Kitkatla.

The top story of the week however was a police file from the Prince Rupert area, and a report of an attempted abduction taking place that rattled parents of school children in the community.
