OTTAWA — Gov. Gen. Michaelle Jean will make an emotional visit to her hometown of Jacmel, Haiti next week to bear witness to the devastation of January’s earthquake. Jean will arrive in the capital city of Port-au-Prince Monday and travel Tuesday to Jacmel, a town also ravaged by the quake that killed more than 200,000 and left thousands more homeless.
Prime Minister Stephen visited Haiti last month, surveying the devastation by helicopter, meeting with President Rene Preval and pledging Canada’s help for the long haul.
