It being a Council week, a number of themes coming out of the Monday Prince Rupert City Council session dominated much of the reading time for those exploring the blog.
Among the Council related topics of note, a look at the still suspended status for flights out of the Digby Island Airport, the presentation that makes for a Monday night Council session and plans for land use near Miller Bay all of which found a large audience over the last seven days.
The continued presence of high COVID numbers in the city also made for a much read story, that through our notes on the Wednesday data release from the BC CDC
Also gaining a large audience this week, our look at some provincial funding announced by the BC government for some projects in the Prince Rupert area.
Of our five stories of note on the week, the most read story that captured the most attention was our look at what is planned for some land on the outskirts of the city near Miller Bay.
