Blog Watching: Week ending June 11, 2023

Our look at a Marine response exercise in Prince Rupert harbour generated the most interest on the week, with an opportunity to review some procedures related to the Wolverine Marine Fuelling terminal a well explored piece this week.

A few other marine themes also found a strong audience, with our check in at the construction site for the ILWU Union Hall and the calling of a strike vote for this past week both of note.

The much anticipated day of celebration for the city's graduating High School students arrived this week, with Friday's Commencement at the Lester Centre, our preview of the night was of some interest, quickly rising among the most read items of the week.

The Nisga'a Nation and Telus have announced plans to bring improvement to internet and cellular connectivity to the Nass Valley, which was of some interest to some.

And our notes on the opportunity to submit questions for the Prince Rupert Port Authority APM this coming week also found a strong audience.

The focus on the harbour dominated the week, our look at the Wolverine Terminal exercise claiming the most reads by week's end.
