Arthur LeBlanc sworn in as lieutenant-governor
Nova Scotia has sworn in its first Acadian lieutenant-governor.
At a ceremony at Province House Wednesday Arthur LeBlanc took over the vice-regal job from retired brigadier-general John James Grant.
LeBlanc says the Expulsion of the Acadians was a dark period of Nova Scotia's history.
But he says Acadians are a resilient people and he looks forward to promoting Acadian culture in his new role.
LeBlanc practised law in the province for 30 years before becoming a Nova Scotia Supreme Court judge in 1998.
