AUGUSTA – Gov. John Baldacci is headed to Toronto later this week as part of a two-day trade mission to Canada.

Baldacci’s visit Thursday and Friday is organized through the Maine International Trade Center, a nonprofit that provides trade counseling and technical assistance.

Last year, Baldacci made a weeklong trade mission to South Korea and Japan, and he previously has visited Cuba, France and other countries to promote Maine products.

In September, Baldacci was host to a New England Governors-Eastern Canadian Premiers conference in which international trade was a major topic of discussion.
