OTTAWA - Canada's incoming Governor General is off to England to meet the Queen.

David Johnston will have an audience with Her Majesty this weekend to be formally introduced as her new representative in Canada.

The former university president has already met the Queen once before, but it was just a quick handshake during the farewell dinner of her summer tour through Canada.

Johnston will be formally installed as Governor General on October 1.

Until then, he's known as the Governor General designate and has spent the last few weeks being briefed on his new role.

Johnston will succeed Michaelle Jean to become Canada's 28th Governor General.
