According to the Prime Minister’s itinerary, he will be visiting Nova Scotia today.

Justin Trudeau will join Central Nova MP Sean Fraser, who is also the Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities, in the central region of the province to meet with local students and educators.

Trudeau is also expected to make an announcement about the National School Food Program this afternoon.

Following that event, Trudeau is scheduled to visit a local farm to discuss female entrepreneurship and support for local school food programs.

This is a developing story. More to come.
