GG in the House

David Johnston has become Canada's 28th Governor-General during an official ceremony held at  Parliament Hill on October 1, 2010.

Johnston started his career as GG with a specialized ceremony that had 26 roses handed to him on Parliament Hill by specifically selected representatives from each province and territory.

Johnston then took the roses and laid them upon the tomb of the unknown soldier, a first for any Governor-General.

Johnston's installation as the official representative to the royal family comes after Michaelle Jean's impressive five year career as the 27th Governor-General.
