On June 22 and 23, the Metlakatla Development Corporation welcomed residents of Prince Rupert and the North Coast to a public forum on senior housing needs in the region. The sessions were held to gather feedback for a report looking at the feasibility of developing seniors housing on the former King Edward site, which the Metlakatla Development Corporation has owned since 2009. In total, more than 50 residents attended, including councillors from the City of Prince Rupert and Metlakatla.
