Some new funding for transportation in the Northwest, caught the eye of the largest volume of readers this week, as our review of the plan to provide assistance towards community to community transportation was well received.
Also of some note for readers this week the return of a range of Public Health Orders related to COVID in the northwest and the latest COVID 19 data from the BC CDC, both of which found much interest of readers.
Breaking News from the downtown core of Saturday afternoon quickly found a strong audience, as we outlined the notes from the Prince Rupert detachment of the RCMP related to a motor vehicle incident at the Rupert Square Mall's lower parking lot that left one injured and a string of damage to assess.
The City's work in preparation to take on a new tenant for the Canfisco Warehouse and some positive signs from Alaska on the potential return of Marine Highway service to Prince Rupert rounded out our list for five for the week.
