Because Remembrance Day falls on a Sunday this year, the University will forego its traditional observance outside Memorial Hall in favour of encouraging participation in the community-wide event at Windsor’s cenotaph.

“The ceremony is significant in that we acknowledge the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month,” says Mary-Ann Rennie of the office of the president. “We felt it would not be appropriate to hold a ceremony on the Friday before or the Monday following.”

The community observance will begin at 11 a.m. Sunday, November 11, at the cenotaph located on University Avenue north of Windsor City Hall.

Campus flags will be lowered Friday, November 9, in observance of Remembrance Day.
