The University of Windsor community is invited to a Remembrance Day ceremony outside the east entrance to Memorial Hall 10:45 a.m. today — Monday, Nov. 11.

Human Resources has made provision for non-essential university employees to attend the ceremony, which will last until approximately 11:25 a.m. Those on campus who have served in the military are especially welcome to attend.

The program will feature student talents in a sombre reflection on sacrifice:

• Bruce Kotowich will lead the University Choirs in performance;
• University of Windsor Students’ Alliance president Ghallia Hashem will read In Flanders Fields;
• music student Justin Bobbie will play The Last Post and Reveille on trumpet;
• David Pitawanakwat, Indigenous justice co-ordinator at Legal Assistance of Windsor, will offer an Indigenous prayer of remembrance;
• readings shared will include historical material from the Canadian Letters and Images Project.

The event will conclude with UWindsor president Robert Gordon laying a wreath beneath a display in the historic building memorializing the courage of those who served.

Those on campus unable attend are invited to observe two minutes of silence at 11 a.m.
