Both NDP Leader Tom Mulcair and Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau will make stops in Winnipeg this week.

The visits follow a brief rally of party loyalists hosted by Prime Minister Stephen Harper last week at the Tijuana Yacht Club.

Trudeau was in Winnipeg twice in July, but will make his first official stop of the campaign Wednesday morning at the Holiday Inn South on Pembina Highway. His event announcement said Trudeau will make a policy promise related to “growing the middle class.”
