Visit to Nova Scotia - Day 4

Back to Photo Gallery
Upon his arrival at Citadel High School in Halifax, His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston, Governor General of Canada, was welcomed by the Honourable Darrell Dexter, Premier of Nova Scotia.
His Excellency was also joined by Ms. Annette Verschuren, Chair of 2012 Governor General's Canadian Leadership Conference (GGCLC).
The Governor General delivered remarks on the importance of leadership before participating in a question period with the students.
In the afternoon, His Excellency officially opened the 2012 GGCLC chaired by Ms. Annette Verschuren.
The GGCLC was created in 1983, by then-governor general Edward Schreyer, and is held every four years. It brings together Canada’s future leaders from business, labour, government, non-governmental organization, education and cultural sectors for a unique, two-week experience aimed at broadening their perspectives on work, leadership, their communities and their country.
"Leaders must be confident but know their limitations. We must rely on what we know but keep an open mind to new ideas. We must strike a balance between organizational success and the betterment of the community and the country."
