The Vatican says Pope Francis will stop in Alberta, Quebec and Nunavut during his visit to Canada this summer.
It says the capital cities of Edmonton, Quebec City and Iqaluit will act as bases for the trip from July 24 to 29.
The Vatican made the announcement Friday morning.
The Pope apologized to Indigenous delegates visiting the Vatican last month for the church’s role in Canada’s residential schools.

Archbishop Richard Smith is the general co-ordinator of the visit for the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops.
He says the 85-year-old pontiff’s mobility and health issues were taken into consideration when choosing locations.
