Mike Savage Appointed as Nova Scotia's New Lieutenant-Governor

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the appointment of the outgoing Halifax mayor, praising his dedication to public service.

Mike Savage, who served as Halifax's mayor for 12 years, will succeed Arthur J. LeBlanc as Nova Scotia's lieutenant-governor.
Savage has a background in politics, having previously served as a Liberal MP for Dartmouth-Cole Harbour for seven years.
Prime Minister Trudeau highlighted Savage's commitment to social inclusion, disability rights, economic growth, and climate change.
The lieutenant-governor role involves granting royal assent to provincial laws as the Crown's representative.
Halifax is set to elect a new mayor on October 19, following Savage's decision not to seek re-election.
