Politics was the focus for much of the week in the lead up to Saturday's Civic Election, with the candidates making their last week dash to collect votes.
Sone seismic activity on Sunday however captured the most attention of the last seven days, as residents from the Seal Cove area over to Graham Avenue and all points in between took note of the medium sized temblor from just north of Lax Kw'alaams.
Also of note from the week, a call for a bit of help from the City's operations department when it comes to sidewalk work, some job opportunities at City Hall and a visit from NDP leadership candidate David Eby who spoke on housing themes at a number of events in the community.
