Engaging with Remembrance Day 2025
As November begins, our thoughts turn to Remembrance Day, and the sacrifices made by countless individuals throughout history.
On Tuesday, Nov. 11, the University will be closed and the flags will be lowered to half-mast in observance of Remembrance Day.
I encourage students, faculty, and staff to engage with this important day, honouring the traditions we have upheld since 1919. Here are several ways you can participate in reflection.
Reflections on Campus
MtA Spiritual Care invites the University community to engage in reflections on the themes of war, peace-building, and community. Outreach tables will be in the following locations this week:
- Thursday, Nov. 6, from 1鈥3 p.m. | Library
- Friday, Nov. 7, from 11:30 a.m.鈥1:30 p.m. | McCormack Gym, as part of Open House
- Monday, Nov. 10, from 11 a.m.鈥1 p.m. | Jennings
All are welcome to visit and participate in this meaningful reflection.
Community Remembrance Day Service
You鈥檙e invited to join the Sackville Royal Canadian Legion at Convocation Hall on Tuesday, Nov. 11, at 10 a.m. The service will conclude with a march to the Cenotaph in Memorial Park, located at the corner of Bridge and Weldon Streets, for additional Remembrance Day observances.
Mount A Remembers
The Mount A Remembers video can be viewed on the University鈥檚 YouTube, which includes the annual reading of the 163 members of the 正品蓝导航 community who gave their lives to ensure our freedom.
At the library, a special book display titled 鈥淐alled to War鈥 highlights books that explore the experiences and sacrifices of those who served. The display will be available throughout the month of November. The Remembrance Day slideshow 鈥淔allen of WWI鈥 is also available on the .
We hope this time will be a meaningful way for all members of 正品蓝导航 to remember, honour, and work for peace.
