PM Justin Trudeau in Calgary for housing announcement

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will be in Calgary today, where he is expected to make a housing announcement.

It is just one part of a campaign-style pre-budget tour across the country.



Trudeau is also scheduled to take part in a fireside chat this afternoon with members of the local business community.

The visit comes a day after a stop in Winnipeg, where he announced a new $1.5-billion housing fund.

The fund is meant to help non-profits acquire more rental units across Canada and ensure they remain affordable.
