With a fall federal election looming, federal Green Party leader Elizabeth May will visit Yellowknife this week, holding a town hall Wednesday evening in the N.W.T. capital.

May will speak with residents from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. at Northern United Place, a news release reads.

The town hall aims to "spark genuine conversation about what we can all do together to secure our future for humanity and the natural world," the release states.

May will stay in Yellowknife Wednesday and Thursday, the release states, with other events to be announced on the N.W.T. Green Party's Facebook page.

The Green Party leader is the third major party leader to visit the territories this year. Conservative party leader Andrew Scheer visited Iqaluit in June and is in Whitehorse on Wednesday.

In March, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau visited Iqaluit to issue an apology for the mistreatment of Inuit with tuberculosis.

The Green Party has yet to announce their Northwest Territories candidate for the fall election. The release states they will announce their candidate on July 10.
