Interest in a career opportunity with the Prince Rupert Fire Rescue Department generated a lot of interest in our story this week, propelling our notes to the top of the list of the five most read items of the last seven days.
Progress on a housing build also proved popular with our look at the work of the Gixaala Nation towards a townhome development on Kootenay gaining a large number of views.
Three Civic items also claimed much interest, for the week, with our articles on the Mayor's recent Facebook video on plans for a roundabout, the delays in work on the 4th Avenue West walkway and some roofing work at the city leased Canfisco Warehouse all finding large readership on the week.
The top story of the week however, found much attention on the job posting for a new Firefighter opening at the Fire Hall.
