Industrial development captured the attention of man of our readers this past week, with the newest LNG project for the Kitimat area providing some details on their plans.
COVID continues to be a topic of note for the region, with Prince Rupert finding itself back on the Map of COVID this week, with the latest release of date from the BC CDC indicating that one new case of the coronavirus had been reported in the last week of May, first week of June.
And while the one new case does show that the virus is circulating, the province's vaccination program has delivered some excellent results. With that the BC Restart Plan will soon move into a more visible stage and one of the first signals comes on Tuesday with the reopening of movie theatres, including the Prince Rupert Cinemas.
Skeena MLA Ellis Ross had a very busy week through his Legislature duties, but it was a social media message about Canada Day that attracted a large audience.
And a number of Prince Rupert organizations made statements following the discovery of graves at the Kamloops Residential School, among them the Prince Rupert based CityWest, which has joined the chorus to calls for action from all levels of government.
However, the top item of interest for the week comes from City Hall and their look at another change in how they may approach some local area infrastructure in the future.
Cedar LNG Project to host two virtual Open Houses this week -- A new regional industrial project captured the most attention this week, with a larger readership for our notes on an Open House for Cedar LNG which was held this week.
