Premier Ford and his Minister of Health, Sylvia Jones, will be in Sudbury on Monday

The Prime Minister’s Office announced that Premier Doug Ford will be in Sudbury on Monday.

It comes as one of his most senior ministers, Sylvia Jones, is also in the city to celebrate the opening of a new adult alder rehabilitation hospital.

Jones, the province’s health minister, will be on hand Monday to celebrate the official opening of Phase 1 of the St. Joseph Continuing Care Facility. The business has been operating out of a downtown Sudbury hotel for four years.

The Prime Minister’s visit also comes the week Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy will unveil the government’s fall economic statement on October 30. Bethenfalvy called it “the final step in our plan to rebuild Ontario.”

Ford has already announced that his government will extend the 5.7 cent reduction in the provincial gas tax until next summer.

A media advisory indicates Ford will hold a news conference in Sudbury at 2 p.m.
