Mary Simon says she is honoured, humbled and ready to be the first Indigenous person to serve as the Queen’s federal representative in Canada.

Her official installation as Governor-General took place in the Senate on Monday, just short of three weeks after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced her appointment. Because of the pandemic, the ceremony included only a limited number of participants.

During a speech delivered in Inuktitut, English and French, Ms. Simon said she has been deeply touched by the words of Canadians who have reached out to her since hearing the news of her appointment.
