Civic themes make for the book end items for our list of the five most read blog items for the week, that as our look at Mayor Pond's recent Chamber of Commerce presentation and a trip earlier in the week to Alaska both captured the attention of our readers.
What could be a significant purchase of a major PRPA shipping terminal also gained a wide audience as we explored some of the interest in a potential purchase of the company that owns and operates Prince Rupert Grain.
The ever changing nature of technology made for some interest for readers, that as Northern Health addresses some of its concerns over Internet connectivity and reliability. That as the Health Authority recently installed StarLink equipment at its health facilities across the Northwest.
