Her Excellency the Right Honourable Michaëlle Jean, the Governor General of Canada


Our Governor General was a delight: smiling, vivacious, personable, and amazingly beautiful.

It was not known by the children from out of town competing at the Heritage Fair that Michaelle Jean would be making a visit to a pre-arranged and selected group of young adults at Calgary City Hall. As word of her arrival spread, the line-ups beside the red carpet laid out for her began.

I could not believe that most children did not have a clue who she was. They did not know anything about Canada's Governor General, her role, nor her name. They were more interested in seeing the Mayor of Calgary (Sigh ....) I'll post a picture of him later.
