A City Council week brought us a couple of items for our list of five, notes of interest that book mark our listings at top and bottom.
The first a look at the plans for a new development for housing on Second Avenue West and the variances requested for it, the other item a look at the work ahead for the roof of the Lester Centre of the arts and how the City plans to pay the million dollar cost.
Federal politics gained two spots in our weekly review, both related to the announcement of a Conservative Candidate for the next federal election.
Out notes on the announcement of Ellis Ross as the Skeena-Bulkley Valley Candidate for the Tories and how the current incumbent Taylor Bachrach reacted to the news gained a large audience this week.
And The City of Prince Rupert owned Communication company CityWest was in the news this week, that with an update on the long running fibre optic break and service outage issues for Haida Gwaii.
The most read item of the week however, came out of the Monday City Council session and what's coming for the corner of Second Ave West and Seventh Street.
