Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's in Sault Ste. Marie today.
Trudeau's official itinerary from the Prime Minister's Office says he's in "Northern Ontario", first visiting a "local electricity provider", then delivering remarks at a ribbon cutting ceremony, followed by touring a housing development project, and visiting a Royal Canadian Legion - it's unclear whether all of the events are in the same city, but appears so.
Sault Ste. Marie's PUC Services had been teasing a major announcement since the start of the month, and tweeted earlier today that Trudeau was there as "a special guest to help launch the Sault Smart Grid", later calling it "Canada's First Community-Wide Smart Grid".
It's Trudeau's first stop in the Sault since July 2021 - when he announced up to $420-million in federal support for Algoma Steel's transition to electric arc furnace steelmaking - though he'd previously visited as PM in April 2016, March 2018, and May 2019.
