Blog Watching: Week ending February 6, 2022

Housing, or the lack of it actually, made for a few items of note for the blog this week, and among some of our stories to the theme, a look back at a 2021 court case related to the Angus Apartment found the largest readership for the last seven days.

We followed that up with some notes from MLA Jennifer Rice on the status of the displaced residents and some other items of interest on housing in the community.

Some policing themes also found some interest of readers on the week, with our look  at recent weapons related calls in Prince Rupert along with some progress for the new RCMP detachment of note for readers. 

However, the most read item for the week explored a 2021 court case that involved the Angus Apartments and the City of Prince Rupert.
