Back after a short hiatus from our blogging efforts, many of this weeks items focused on the Monday Prince Rupert City Council session, as well as a number of civic related issues.
From the council session, the story which attracted the largest number of readers for the week involved a quest from City Councillor Barry Cunningham to provide for frequent public presentations for City Council.
A pair of items related to the Prince Rupert Airport also found some interest, that as we took note of the temporary transportation modes in effect, as well as a shift in the Airport ferry in the lead up to the changeover to Q400 service in June.
Thanks to a tip from a reader we took note of an editorial from the weekly paper on the current state of journalism in the city, a piece which had a few observations to make on blogging and social media in general.
Also claiming some space in the top five listings was an update on the latest round of public funding for projects in the Northwest and Haida Gwaii.
However the top story of the week was spawned from some commentary from Councillor Cunningham at Monday night's Council session which explored his thoughts when it comes to an apparent difficulty in generating a list of Guest Presentations for the City Council sessions.
