Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is hitting British Columbia Wednesday as part of an outreach tour that will expand across the country.
He is in Kamloops to meet with its mayor, Ken Christian, before meeting two Indigenous leaders.
The prime minister will also be holding a town hall at Thompson Rivers University.
The federal riding of Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo is currently held by Conservative MP Cathy McLeod and the Liberals are eyeing B.C. as a key battleground for the election in October.
Since 2017, Trudeau has held town halls in cities across Canada in the winter, making stops that resemble a campaign road tour.
The prime minister will be travelling to different regions to stay connected to and engage directly with Canadians, said Eleanore Catenaro, a press secretary with the Prime Minister's Office.
Trudeau moves on to Regina on Thursday.
"Similar to past years, it will offer an opportunity for Canadians to discuss a wide range of topics, and how we create more jobs and grow the economy to benefit all Canadians," Catenaro said in a statement.
One issue likely to be raised with Trudeau in B.C. is the RCMP's intervention in a blockade in northern British Columbia.
The RCMP said Monday they arrested 14 people from the blockade.
The Mounties say they were enforcing an injunction from the B.C. Supreme Court in removing anyone interfering with the Coastal GasLink project in and around the Morice River Bridge.
Coastal GasLink says it has signed agreements with all First Nations along the route but demonstrators argued Wet'suwet'en house chiefs, who are hereditary rather than elected, have not given consent. Kamloops is several hundred kilometres away but the gas-pipeline project is worth billions to the B.C. economy and questions of Indigenous authority and rights resonate across the country.
On Tuesday, protesters delayed an appearance by the prime minister in Ottawa by drumming and chanting in a government building where he was set to speak. Rallies were also held in other cities across Canada.
Trudeau's address to officials and representatives from self-governing First Nations that have modern treaties with the Crown was moved to another government building close to Parliament Hill.
