 is the 28th British Columbian to have served in this role and he quickly proved himself to be an absolutely inspired choice. He brought dignity, humility and no small measure of humor to this prestigious employment. He also brought a deep understanding of the importance of family. I had no idea what we were getting into when the Prime Minister phoned and asked if I would take on this job. But it's turned out to be an amazing, amazing journey and I'm taking away from this much more timely than I brought to it. Today it is our pleasure to officially add the name of the Honorable Mrs. Judy Gishon to those distinguished ranks of Lieutenant-Governors. Simply put she is an outstanding choice for this role. Not only does she bring incredible integrity and experience, she also brings a deep personal appreciation of the history and traditions of our province.
