Remembrance Day 2021 

Each year, we gather to remember all those who served our country during times of war, conflict and peace.

Western’s in-person and virtual Remembrance Day ceremony, hosted by the University Students’ Council, will take place in the McKellar room (UCC) at 10:45 a.m. to 11:40 a.m. with a pause for moment of silence at 11 a.m.

The ceremony will include musical performances, poetry, remembrance of the No. 2 Construction Battalion, artifacts, and remarks. All campus community members including students, employees and members of the public are invited to attend. Health screening and proof of vaccination will be required.

The ceremony will also be available virtually. The Zoom link is: https://zoom.us/j/98049138090 

This year is the centenary of the Royal Canadian Legion's poppy appeal. We can show our support by wearing a poppy on our lapel or supporting the poppy campaign.
