On Jan. 15, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will make Brock University one of the stops on his upcoming tour of town hall talks.<\/p>\n
As he has done in each of the past two years, the Prime Minister is travelling across the country to meet with Canadians and hear directly from communities about what they have to say about building a strong future. He is set to kick off the tour Wednesday in Kamloops, B.C.<\/p>\n
The town hall tour will come to St. Catharines at Brock University\u2019s Ian Beddis Gymnasium Tuesday, Jan. 15 starting at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is truly an honour to welcome the Prime Minister back to the Niagara region,\u201d said Niagara Centre MP Vance Badawey. \u201cThis town hall is a terrific opportunity for the residents of Niagara Centre and throughout the region to be a part of the democratic process and make their voices heard. Please join us.\u201d<\/p>\n
The event is open to everyone including Brock students, faculty and staff, as well as the wider Niagara community.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis town hall tour has been taking place for the past few years across Canada. I am excited that this year Niagara residents will have their opportunity to pose questions directly to\u00a0Prime Minister Trudeau,\u201d said St. Catharines MP Chris Bittle.<\/p>\n
