Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will pay a visit to the northern Saskatchewan that was the scene of a deadly school shooting last week. Trudeau will travel to community of La Loche on Friday one week after the shooting rampage that left four people dead and seven others injured.
Teacher’s aide Marie Janvier, 21, died at the school and Adam Wood, a 35-year-old teacher from Ontario, died soon after in hospital. The bodies of brothers Drayden Fontaine, 13, and Dayne Fontaine, 17, were discovered in a house.
