Mike Savage, Nova Scotia's new lieutenant-governor, is adjusting to his new responsibilities, which include ceremonies, receptions, and the upcoming New Year's Day levee. Savage, a former mayor of Halifax and MP, emphasizes the historical significance of his role and welcomes the non-political nature of the position. He has been meeting with former lieutenant-governors and even the former governor general to prepare for his duties.
Nova Scotia’s new lieutenant-governor, Mike Savage, is getting used to his new title and role.From ceremonies to receptions and the upcoming New Year’s Day levee, it’s been a whirlwind.
“There’s been a lot going on. And it’s been interesting. And we feel very blessed,” he said on behalf of himself and his wife Darlene.Before his appointment by the prime minister, Savage served 12 years as mayor of Halifax and announced in February that he would not seek re-election. Before becoming mayor, he was the MP for the federal riding of Dartmouth-Cole Harbour for seven years.
No, he hasn’t actually been in touch with the King. But he has spoken with Gov. Gen. Mary Simon, who Savage describes as “awesome.” “We will go and see the King sometime probably in the spring. It’ll be my my king spring. We’ll go over and we’ll have a chance to see the King and be welcomed officially, which would obviously be an awesome thing.”Viewed
