Investments in Prince Rupert whether industrial or commercial book end our list of five for the last week.

The passing of two community members from Skidegate in a marine incident also found a large audience this week, as did our look at a Community Update for the members of the Lax Kw'alaams Band, with the focus on the 11th Avenue Apartment plans among the items noted.
