Graydon Nicholas continues to make history -- the province's first aboriginal judge has just been appointed the province's first Lieutenant Governor.
Prime Minister Harper made the announcement late today -- and -- Premier Graham tells CHSJ News it's a proud moment for New Brunswick and the country.
Graham recommended Nicholas for the post during a meeting with Prime Minister Harper earlier this year.
Nicholas is a former president of the Union of New Brunswick Indians and recipient of the N-B Human Rights Award as well as a Golden Jubilee Medal.
He is replacing Hermenegilde Chiasson.
