On Remembrance Day, we honour all those who have served, those who continue to serve and those who made the ultimate sacrifice in times of war, conflict and peacekeeping. This day of reflection reminds us of the importance of remembrance, gratitude and working toward a more peaceful future.

On Tuesday, Nov. 10, everyone is welcome at TRU’s Remembrance Day ceremony at the Kamloops campus. Join us at 10:30 a.m. on Student Street in Old Main.

TRU campuses and offices will be closed on Wednesday, Nov. 11 to observe the Remembrance Day statutory holiday. We encourage those who are able to attend local Remembrance Day ceremonies taking place throughout the region to participate in this important day. At 11 a.m., we invite everyone to observe a moment of silence — wherever you may be — to honour those who have served and sacrificed.

To mark Remembrance Day, campus flags will be flown at half-mast from sunrise to sunset on Nov. 11.
