Kaleid, I think that pink is way too loud but no one really know on here if Dave is a male or female or some one like Spider she is real mean at times or is she a he. Then again what it is does not matter as long as the spelling is right.
Just a question…How do you change your font color when you post and how do you change regular font to bold ? Thanks guys 
PS…I like the pink 
You’ll note that the font colour change on my post was not done by me. Although I admit that while painful on the eyes, it did make me laugh. 
The part about this whole thread that I find quite comical is the fact that when Canpotex comes to town, and it will, that whole view/dog walking area will be replaced with a gigantic building providing employment and economic stimulus to this entire area. But no one seems to be too upset about that!!! 
can we hear an amen from the boomtown chorus 
i’d love it if potash came to town being a longshoreman do u have information it is coming for sure ? havent heard anything about it recently
I have heard many concerns about the “beach” and the public access to this “public” spot. In reality, and to much of the public’s unknowing, that road we all take to this spot is Privately owned by the soon to be former Ridley Island Log Sort company. They have just been nice enough to allow us to use this road. In the past, they have tried to restrict access by way of a gate that the “victimized” public decided to vandalize and destroy. Not sure who is being treated wrongly in this case!!!
About time. This has been a long way coming.
I call BS why is the dump on the road ?
My reply to this is one of simple yet obvious observation. If you have followed this thread at all, seeing you started it, you would know that we are discussing the area where people walk their dogs and not the entire road from 16 in. If there indeed is a beach anywhere near the dump, I will stand corrected and promise to never take your spot there.
2012 maybe
Then you are referring to the gate past the coal terminal ?
what happend to the ridley log sort it use to be so bussy there, i went out last fall to get some firewood and the gate was down and no one there.
When Pope and Talbot went down, many companies like Ridley went with them. It is too bad. It is just another reminder that we need another industry in this area. When you live in a one horse town, and it goes lame, you end up where we are now.
Actually all of Ridley Island is ‘owned’ by the Prince Rupert Port Authority, and was only being leased by the log sort, as are the lands that are occupied by RTI (coal terminal) and PRG (grain terminal) and the new quick load facility for CBSA container inspections. The port Autority lands start right where the new security gate was recently installed at the intersection of the roads that lead to CN’s ‘Nemoto’ yard and the new quickload fenced compound, where you cross an overpass from kaien Island onto Ridley Island. The other gate being refered to here was at the end of the pavement right at the entrance to RTI where you left the paved road to drive toward the log sort site and the beach being refered to here.
Sound like you use to work there? 
Ok I can sit idle no longer.
People, we live on an island, a rather large island. It is truly embarassing that we have no accessible beach front for our good people. Wether it be supplied by the port, city, fed or prov govts. Hell maybe the good people at chances might purchase some land for us good folk and make a beach!
Wouldnt it be nice to have that empty lot by can fisco be cleared and a park put in?
Wake up people…
Ruperts turning in to a joke…
Uhm, nothing that Pope & Talbot did went through Ridley (that I am aware of - I am sure you will ‘school’ me if I am wrong), so how are you making this correlation? Compared to Mackenzie (where just one of P&T’s mills was), Prince Rupert is far from a one horse town (ok not much bigger, maybe a two horse town? heh). Sure, Rupert isn’t flush with a multitude of successful industries, but I don’t think we are completely drowning yet. If you want to see drowning go to Mackenzie. When every large forestry company stops employing much of the town (and realistically, almost every other industry in Mackenzie was linked to the forestry industry) - that is what I would call a lame horse in a one horse town.
They supplied pulp chips, no supplier by by
