USask to host 96th annual Remembrance Day ceremony
SASKATOON – The University of Saskatchewan (USask) community, members of the public and the media are invited to gather for USask’s 96th annual wreath-laying ceremony and brief program on Monday, Nov. 11 at the Memorial Gates in honour of Remembrance Day.
Many USask community members have contributed and sacrificed in service to the country throughout history in times of war and peace. The university’s long and proud tradition of military service by faculty, staff, students, and alumni is commemorated in a series of stories and messages shared online and across campus.
All are invited to attend the wreath-laying ceremony and to visit the many memorials around campus that pay tribute to those in our campus community who have served. Several memorials are located throughout the USask campus and can be found on the campus memorial map.
