The fate of the Alaska Marine Highway was back in the news this week as well, as the Alaska Government released the details of a new report on the theme of reshaping the Marine Highway, with a number of suggestions that could have an impact on Prince Rupert.
LNG was also featured once again, with reports out of Alaska of a new LNG terminal project proposed for the region, this one with a bit of a twist, as the terminal would be located just north of Lax Kw'alaams in American waters.
Travellers to and from Prince Rupert were left somewhat frustrated last week, that as the Prince Rupert Airport suffered under the strain of the weather, with an Air Canada flight to and from the city for January 11th cancelled owing to operational troubles at the facility.
And City Council members were back to work this week hosting their very first public council session for 2020, but as the short lived night would show, the City's elected officials were pacing their work flow for the New Year, with a meeting that lasted less than seven minutes.
However, the most read story of the week highlighted some good news for the new ownership of Ridley Terminals, which hailed an impressive shipment deal with Teck Resources to start the New year and new ear at Ridley.
