There’s always a bright side in the City of Rainbows: this is the 1st census since 1996 showing a population increase in #PrinceRupert ; and a net increase in total dwellings, the 1st time since 2011. For those of us who lived here through those tough times…we’ll take it.

Blair Mirau Thank you, Counselor Mirau! We appreciate your commitment to Vision 2030 and helping more people of all ages and abilities get around #PrinceRupert

After 8 years, this week was my final City Council meeting. Long story, short: serving in this role has been an honour and a privilege. Thank you #PrinceRupert! You can watch my full farewell comments here: Facebook.com/Blair.Mirau

We may have been green when we started our first term…but at least we aren’t blue at the end!
