Trudeau to Visit Fort Frances


Margaret Trudeau is coming to Fort Frances.

Sandy Skirten of the Canadian Mental Health Association says the ex-wife of the late Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau will be speaking at the Townshend Theatre April 14.

"She'll be discussing her live story, living with bipolar," says Skirten. "Some of the journeys she's had throughout her live. This is also part of the celebration of the Fort Frances branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association, our thirtieth anniversary."

Skirten says getting Trudeau to visit was something the local branch has been working on for many years.
