Blog Watching: Week ending July 5. 2020

The return of air travel to the North Coast makes for our most read item of the five for this week, with a look at how the Prince Rupert Airport's social distancing measures will work as  Air Canada to increases the volume for potential passengers to the region.

Also capturing some attention this week, another re-opening for a Prince Rupert business, as well as our look at the plans for a mammography clinic at the Civic Centre  for the next ten days ahead

News from the provincial government that some additional money is on the way served to capture the attention of readers, as did our look at a Request for Proposals from the City of Prince Rupert towards their next phase of removal of the WW2 fuel tanks at Moresby Park.
