While the need for campus housing in Prince Rupert has been a long running topic of discussion for the college and Prince Rupert City Council, so far however, there has been no progress noted in the desire to see similar accommodation provided on the North Coast.

It's a topic that hasn't seen much in the way of advancement  since we last looked at it in March of this year.
