## Resource

Canada’s next governor general, retired Supreme Court justice Louise Arbour, is poised to take the reins in a historic ceremony featuring a 21-gun salute, poetry, and cultural performances. Stepping into the role after Mary Simon — Canada’s first Indigenous viceregal — Arbour brings decades of global legal leadership, including her landmark work as chief prosecutor at The Hague. At 79, she’s fluent in both official languages and ready to lead with a vision for the nation. The event will include a traditional Inuit oil lamp lighting, songs by francophone and anglophone artists, and a bilingual poem reading. As commander-in-chief of the Canadian Armed Forces and the nation’s chief representative abroad, Arbour’s first address will set the tone for her tenure — and mark the first governor general appointment since King Charles became monarch in 2022.
