As it was a city council week, many of our stories related to the Monday Council session found some interested readers as well, led off by our notes on those who have been selected for civic recognition in 2020.
Also making for a strong current of interest on the week was our look at growing concerns about uncivil behaviour in the downtown area, the city's council members receiving a passionate update from the members of the Royal Canadian Legion asking for Council to do something to address their concerns.
The city's plans for relocation of the airport ferry dock also made for a Council topic that attracted some significant interest.
The earth rumbled to the northwest of us late Tuesday night, and from our first notes about the 7.8 earthquake in the Aleutian islands of Alaska the audience grew into the morning, that as we provided for some updates on the prospect of any tsunami warnings for British Columbia waters and shorelines.
However, when it came to the most read item of the last week, the concerns over the outbreak of COVID on Haida Gwaii rocketed to the top of our readers list.
