Even though it wasn't a City Council week, we managed to find a few themes of note to relay from Third Avenue West, with a number of City Council items catching the attention of readers over the last seven days.
Leafing through the City's Annual Report from June, we took note of a solitary graphic that indicates that residents will soon be hearing more of a new corporate brand for the City of Prince Rupert.
This week also saw the city expand on its information push for the September launch for recycling with a home mailing campaign and a video hosted by the city's mayor Lee Brain.
Our notes on the council discussion and decision over increased recreation rates in Prince Rupert also attracted a strong readership this week.
Rounding out our week of five items, Northern Health with some applause for those who worked and participated in Prince Rupert's two COVID clinics, and Don Krusel a familiar name for many in Prince Rupert and architect of the transformation of Fairview into a leading container terminal on the west coast realized a setback in his latest project, a similar port transformation for Quebec City.
However, the top item of interest for the week comes from the files of the Prince Rupert detachment of the RCMP and their notes on a wild highway chase east towards Terrace.
City Council's new vision for the city, will bring a new visual look! -- A one line graphic from the City of Prince Rupert Annual Report provided notice that Prince Rupert residents may soon see some changes to the image of the City with a new logo and other corporate branding to be revealed.
