Justin Trudeau to visit Montreal's Italian Week festival tonight

Justin Trudeau will be at Montreal’s Italian Week tonight to visit the festival and give remarks.

The festival will cap off a busy day in Montreal for the politician.

Trudeau is slated to appear at the funeral for Canadian philanthropist Paul Gérin-Lajoie this morning, followed by a tour of the global communications company MDA Corporation.

The Prime Minister will also visit Côte-Vertu’s massive underground construction site in the late afternoon before settling in to Little Italy’s community festivities at Parc Wilfrid-Bastien.

Although it’s unclear how long Trudeau will be at the event, here’s hoping he sticks around the popular street-side festival long enough to take in some delicious Italian food and soak up some vintage Italian cars.
