Blog Watching: Week ending April 16, 2023

The first opportunity for some public discussion on the 2023 City of Prince Rupert budget generated a few stories out of the Tuesday Council Session, with those participating in the commentary offering up a few themes to follow up on.

The remainder of our list of five featured interest in a new business opening in the community, with the national pharmacy chain Pharmasave opening up a location on Second Avenue West.

Another soon to open location also is generating some buzz in the community, with the Tourism Prince Rupert hosted Container Marketplace taking shape on the Promenade between the Atlin Terminal and the Cruise Ship Terminal.

CityWest's contribution to the Civic budget process and some news of some of its other financial themes made for a well received item this week.

And the work continues forward for the City's new RCMP detachment, with our look at where things are at this week making for a strong audience review.
