100 years after armistice, UBC community honours Canada’s veterans

November 7, 2018

Remembrance Day 2018

When: Thursday, November 8 from 10:45 to 11:30 a.m., reception to follow

This November marks 100 years since armistice and this week the UBC Okanagan campus community will gather in the central courtyard and remember Canada’s fallen.

This is the 13th year the university has held a Remembrance Day ceremony. Royal Canadian Legion Branch 26 President Jim White will lay a wreath and Reverend Dick Fletcher will speak as part of the ceremony. UBC engineering doctoral student Kris Mackowiak will be the official piper, students from Aberdeen Hall Preparatory School will recite In Flanders Fields, and Captain Jim Wood, with the British Columbia Dragoons, will give a short address.

The traditional two minutes of silence, along with a bugle reveille and bagpipe lament, will be part of the formal service. A reception in the Arts Building foyer follows the formal ceremony.
