Blog Watching: Week ending October 4, 2020

Themes of policing captured the attention of readers this week, as our review as to how Terrace and Kitimat provide notes on policing for their communities, compared to what is relayed in Prince Rupert found a large audience.

A note from the Tourism Prince Rupert offices also attracted a an interest readership this week, as a maternity alert and a related job opportunity seems to have resonated well with readers.

With a provincial election now well underway, a few of our stories of the week on the topic proved to be popular.
