There wasn't a lot of detail to the plan that Mayor Lee Brain has in mind when it comes to lending support to a local initiative to impress on the importance of CBC Radio in Prince Rupert.
But when it comes to making that affirmative view known to the national broadcaster, the City of Prince Rupert will be on board.
Mr. Brain introduced the topic at Monday's Prince Rupert Council session, the call to action part of a short observation on the night that had Council direct staff to "Provide a letter of support to advocate for keeping the CBC radio One in Prince Rupert, as well as to collaborate with the group that presented that recommendation"
Following the Mayor's comments, Councillors Adey and Randhawa moved the motion forward and it was unanimously supported by those in attendance on the night.
As we noted earlier this month, the community based initiative comes from a presentation that Kathleen Palm made on June 10th to Council that outlined the steps that her organization has in mind as supporters of public broadcasting.
