A new business recovery helpline was launched this week to support businesses as they prepare to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic through both access to supports and interest free lending.

Starting next week, specialized contractors will be starting work to map a large portion of the City’s storm/system. These contractors will be conducting camera inspections of City owned storm and sewer pipes in areas of town that connect to one of our main outfalls, Outfall I. Work will begin in the area that includes Heron Road, Gull Crescent, a section of Prince Rupert Blvd (between Alberta Place and Prince George Street), Raven Place + Crescent, and Cormorant Place, starting May 4th. 

Tonight, Council held their regularly scheduled 7 pm meeting, open to the public through livestream at www.princerupert.ca/live, and broadcast on Channel 10/310. Due to Provincial Orders, currently Council Meetings are closed for physical attendance from the public.

Note there is an emergency water main repair at 6th Ave West and Fulton street today. Local area traffic will be impacted by street closures in the area to enable repairs. Please obey all posted traffic signage and controllers. Thank you for your patience.
