Blog Watching: Week Ending December 18, 2022


The Saturday announcement by the city of Prince Rupert of a Local State of Emergency related to the city's water infrastructure seems destined to dominate the discussion for Sunday and the week ahead; with our notes related to the early evening Statement quickly rising into the top five items for the blog of the last seven days.

And while we await more details on what may be ahead, a look back at the remaining four items for the week, find a number of municipal issues on the list that gained a strong readership.

The Prince Rupert Airport proved to be a subject of much interest, with our two articles featuring YPR Manager Michael Pucci finding a strong audience.

Also receiving some large attention was our notes on the Special Council Session of Monday that outlined a contract award for the new RCMP detachment.

The proponents of the Scrap the Tax Cap Petition returned to their information sharing streams, observing how North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice plans to introduce the petition when the Legislature resumes inVictoria in 2023.

The Prince Rupert Port Authority outlined its latest work towards its Green Wave initiative, noting of the launch of additional shore power at the DP World Container Terminal.
