A few Kingston, Ont., elementary school children will get the chance to speak with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Monday afternoon.
Shortly after 1 p.m. the prime minister will virtually visit a Grade 5 and 6 class at St. Martha Catholic School in Kingston.
This comes after the teacher of the class, a Mrs. Ows, tweeted to Trudeau about her students’ efforts to learn Canada’s national anthem in sign language.
