PM coming to B.C. with the royals

It will be a star-studded week in British Columbia with literal and political royality.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Friday that he will be tagging along with the The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge during their Royal Tour in Canada.

"Canadians have tremendous affection for the Royal Family, and are excited to welcome The Duke and Duchess to our nation for their second official Royal Tour of Canada,” said Trudeau. “Sophie and I look forward to showcasing beautiful British Columbia and to promoting awareness of both youth and mental health issues alongside Their Royal Highnesses."

On Sep. 24, the Prime Minister and Mrs. Grégoire Trudeau will participate in the Official Welcoming to Canada and British Columbia ceremony at the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia. The Prime Minister will meet with The Duke and Duchess privately later.

On Sunday, the Trudeaus will go with the royals on a tour of Immigrant Services Society's new Welcome Centre in Vancouver.

There, the PM will meet with a government-assisted refugee family from Syria.

Later that day, the four will attend a youth reception.

They will all be visiting the Kitsilano Coast Guard Station for a first responders showcase and a tour of the the station.

Their Royal Highnesses and the Trudeaus will participate in a discussion on mental health issues with representatives of first responders' organizations in the area.

This is the second official tour for The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Their first tour of Canada took place in 2011 as newlyweds.
