“To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.”

(from “In Flanders Fields” by John McCrae)

For one hour each year, the Memorial University community joins the rest of the country in remembering those who have served or died during active service in the First World War and subsequent conflicts.

Ceremonies of Remembrance will be held on three campuses next week in advance of Remembrance Day.

Memorial’s administrative offices are closed. There are no classes on Wednesday, Nov. 11.

St. John’s campus will hold its ceremony on Tuesday, Nov. 10, at 11 a.m. in the D.F. Cook Recital Hall, School of Music.

Anyone unable to join the ceremony in person may watch it live at mun.ca.

The Marine Institute will hold a wreath-laying ceremony on Monday, Nov. 9, at 11 a.m. at the Merchant Navy Memorial.

At Grenfell Campus, all are invited to a ceremony on Tuesday, Nov. 10, at 11 a.m. at the site of the Danger Tree Memorial.

Everyone is encouraged to attend and join us in remembrance.
