Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is planning to make a housing announcement in Calgary today as part of a campaign-style pre-budget tour across the country.
Trudeau is also scheduled to participate in a fireside chat this afternoon with members of the local business community.
The visit comes a day after a stop in Winnipeg.
The prime minister recently revealed a new $1.5-billion housing fund that he says will assist non-profits in acquiring more rental units across Canada and ensuring they remain affordable.
The Canada Rental Protection Fund will offer $1 billion in loans and $470 million in contributions to non-profits and other partners to help them obtain affordable rental units.
The fund will be included in the federal budget, which is set to be presented on April 16.
