| For a number of Prince Rupert residents, bottled water is taking the place of tap water amid concerns over water issues |
Yesterday's expansive release of work from Global News, the Toronto Star newspaper chain and a number of university researchers has certainly captured some attention across much of Canada, with the state of Canada's drinking water making for the national narrative for much of the day.
The collective work came with reports covering a number of cities and towns, including notes from Prince Rupert that formed some of the core of the investigative reporting on many themes of water issues.
We examined the Global Story yesterday, along with a follow up statement from the City that was issued late in the day on Monday based on the news of earlier in the day.
