we need to talk about… The more heads we have around the table, the better decision we will make,” councillor Anna Ashley explained at the meeting held on Nov. 26. The request for a $7,500 matching grant to begin a trap, neuter and release program came from Prince Rupert SPCA Branch Manager Anna Terebka back in September, with the City originally denying the request.
The City of Prince Rupert and the Prince Rupert School District have requested that the Ministry of Transportation install a traffic light at the crossing on McBride Street and 9th Avenue to ensure young Prince Rupert pedestrians are safe. City councillors and members of the board of education met recently to discuss some of the shared issues between the two groups including a traffic light on McBride, which is part of the Yellowhead Highway. The City has sent a request to the Ministry of Transportation to consider putting in a light, following the increase in students crossing the highway with the amalgamation of the two high schools last year that left the lone high school on the east side and created a middle school for students from grade six to grade eight on the west side at the former PRSS site.

Cat advocates hoping to receive financial support from the City of Prince Rupert to launch a trap, neuter and release program have to wait to find out the program’s fate after the issue was tabled at the last council meeting. “At least it’s still on the table. For them to reconsider is really
rare [especially considering the financial position the city is],” Alice Kruta of the Cannery Row Animal Shelter Association said. The decision was postponed until the next meeting, which is on Dec. 10, because of a shortage of councillors in attendance. “This is a pretty big issue and I think it’s a discussion all of council should be involved in. Obviously there’s budget issues
