Since the opening of the War Memorial Gym in 1951, The University of British Columbia has held a ceremony commemorating November 11.
This year, 2019 will mark the 68th year that the University of British Columbia has hosted a Remembrance Day ceremony. The ceremonies on both the Vancouver and Okanagan campuses are an opportunity for faculty, staff, students and members of the community to honour and remember all those who served in times of war, military conflict and peace. All are welcome.
