He made the announcement in response to questions from reporters during a campaign stop near Sudbury.

Friday’s march is part of the Fridays for Future and Global Climate Strike movements. Unions, community organizations and professional groups are joining the students who have led these movements in the protest.

In anticipation of the march, many schools have announced that pupils have the day off. Public transit will be free in Montreal for the occasion.

Swedish teen activist Greta Thunberg, who spoke at the United Nations this week, will come to Montreal to lead the march that leaves the Sir Georges-Étienne Cartier monument on Parc Ave. at noon.

Mayor Valérie Plante will be presenting Thunberg with the keys to the city and meeting with her later in the day.
