Mary Simon is now officially the country’s new governor general and the first Indigenous person to hold the role following an installation ceremony in Ottawa on Monday morning.Prime Minister Justin Trudeau named Simon, an Inuk leader and former Canadian diplomat, as his choice to be the Queen’s representative in Canada earlier this month, replacing Julie Payette who resigned in January.Trudeau was among the few people allowed to witness the ceremony in person as public health guidelines have set limits on attendance and mask requirements for anyone there in person.Simon was greeted at the Senate building by a First Nations drumming circle and accompanied by a traditional Inuit drummer on her way into the Senate chamber.
