The Prince Rupert Northern View, like many other newspapers in Canada has seen a significant drop in ad revenues, and this week issued a public call financial help from North Coast residents.
Air travel in Prince Rupert is currently limited to the city's east side Seaplane base, but for those travelling from there, or through the Terrace airport and its scheduled air services a new federal measure will require you to wear a mask at the terminal and on the flight.
