There seems to be a fair bit of interest when it comes to some of the active construction sites in the community, these days, with our look at both the ILWU Hall build and that of the RCMP detachment the two most popular items of the week.
Other stories that found a good audience over the last seven days included our look at some questions from the public on aviation themes in Prince Rupert and moves by the province to improve on the success for hiring teachers in the north.
Our look at new housing initiatives that will reduce some of the impact of municipal government on where housing is developed also gained a good readership.
The top story of the week however, had us peering over the fence on First Avenue West at the site of what will be the new ILWU 505 Hall in Prince Rupert.
