Tourism notes for 2022 and what's ahead for 2023 found the most attention for the last seven days
As the Annual Report from Tourism Prince Rupert highlighted, the 2022 Tourism Season proved how resilient the industry is on the North Coast, with stakeholders finding much success as visitors returned to the region.
What's ahead for 2023 was also of some focus this week and one item that Tourism Prince Rupert shared some notes on captured some significant attention, with a large volume of our readers looking to learn more about the plans for a Shipping Container marketplace.
Also finding some good traction this week from our list of Five, was our look at the results of a recent hearing towards an unsuccessful City of Prince Rupert request to refuse an FOI made by a resident of the city to City Hall.
There seems to be some strong interest in the progress for the Lax Kw'alaams led 11th Avenue East apartment plans, with our look at what seems to be some land clearing on the site gaining a large audience.
It was a long time between home games for fans of the Prince Rupert Rampage, but last weekend brought two home dates in less than 24 hours against the always tough competitors of the Cariboo region, a pair of games taken to the win column by the home side.
And our look at the plans towards a public forum on the city's potential plans for water infrastructure, hosted by a public advocacy group, found a large audience this past week.
From the weeks review however, the most read item of the week puts the focus on the strong plans in motion for the local tourism industry.
