THUNDER BAY -- Prime Minister Justin Trudeau later this week is expected to visit Thunder Bay for the first time in nearly three years.
Trudeau is scheduled on Friday to hold a town hall meeting with Thunder-Bay Superior North MP Patty Hajdu and Thunder Bay-Rainy River MP Don Rusnak at the CJ Sanders Fieldhouse on Lakehead University campus , according to an event posting on Hajdu's parliamentary website.
According to the event posting, doors will open starting at 5 p.m., with the 90-minute event beginning at 7 p.m.
The prime minister most recently visited Thunder Bay in April 2016, where he made an announcement about federal funding for mass-transit projects across the country.
The visit comes days after Rusnak announced he won't be seeking a second term in the House of Commons, despite being nominated Last November as the riding's Liberal candidate.
Trudeau's scheduled stop in Thunder Bay will come about seven months ahead of the federal election, which is scheduled to take place on Oct. 21.
