Got to shake hands with the Right Honourable Mary Simon, Governor General of Canada today. She was handing out the medals for my sport at the Arctic Winter Games in Whitehorse and was thanking us officials afterwards.
Lots of dignitaries from around the Arctic here, including all the Premiers from the Canadian territories, the ambassadors from Greenland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland plus Canada’s Governor General of course.
Alaska’s Governor showed up for the opening ceremony at least, so there was at least some representation. US Ambassador for Canada was here too but I don’t think either of them attended the political meetings.
