Premier John Horgan makes his first extended stop over on the North Coast since taking office today, with an afternoon of meetings with local officials and a tour of the Port as part of his agenda for the day.

Among the meetings reportedly set up for the afternoon, is a session with Mayor Lee Brain, which may offer up a chance to fully explain some of the city's current challenges and how the Province may be able to help when it comes to some changes to financial policy.

Also on the agenda for the day,  a session with Mr. Horgan who will be meeting with local entrepreneurs at the Wheelhouse Brewing company.

And then meet the public at a two hour get together with local residents at the Ocean View Hotel starting at 6:30 PM. 

Joining the Premier in his OV stopover will be North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice and NDP MP Nathan Cullen.

It's not known if the Premier is planning to make any announcements during his stay in the region.

He continues his travels in the Northwest tomorrow with stops set for the Terrace and Kitimat area.

If you don't catch a chance to bend an elbow with him at the OV or the Wheelhouse, you may be able to keep up to the tour through twitter, and the social media accounts for the Premier that frequently host photos of his stops whenever he travels around the province.
