Many having spent the last six days trying to understand the unfathomable horror that took place in the Ocean Centre that claimed the life of Patty Forman.
The rest of the week seemed small and insignificant, framed in the tragedy, though a few of our other items did capture some attention.
Among those two notes from this week's City Council session, with an update on the Ocean Centre Bus Pullout of some interest, as was City Council's first mention of plans towards the city's water treatment infrastructure and the potential for private sector involvement.
