Some big news from a 2021 homicide investigation into an incident at the Prince Rupert Regional Hospital was relayed by the RCMP this week.
That from a Friday announcement that charges have been laid in relation to an incident which saw one patient pass away from his injuries.
The annual observation of International Women's Day provided for some large readership of our look at the progress and work still to be done towards gender equity in the region.

It being a City Council week, a few themes of civic note gained some attention as well, with a large volume of readers interested in our notes on the post mortem on our recent snow experience.
