Prime Minister concludes Sask. tour in Saskatoon

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will be stopping over in Saskatoon Friday after a brief visit to Saskatchewan.

On Thursday, Trudeau visited North Battleford, Sask., for a public meet-and-greet event with Battlefords-LloydminsterLiberal candidate Larry Ingram.

The event was held less than a weekbefore a federal byelection in the riding of Battlefords-Lloydminster. Longtime Conservative MP Gerry Ritz retired in October, leaving the seat up for grabs.

On Friday, Trudeau will attend private meetings in Saskatoon before heading back to Ottawa.
