Mount Allison University will honour the memory and legacy of fallen Canadians, veterans, and current service members on Tuesday, Nov. 10. All students, faculty, staff, and community members are invited to MtA Remembers — a service in Tweedie Hall on Tuesday, Nov. 10 at 12 pm.
The service will offer an opportunity to learn about the significance of Remembrance Day in Canada while recognizing that people experience and understand remembrance in different ways. It will also acknowledge the contributions of people from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds who have served during times of war and recognize that many members of the Mount Allison community are affected by conflicts — both past and present — around the world.
The service will include an Indigenous welcome and perspective and reflections from members of the Mount Allison community. The Last Post will be played by music student Matthew Mulvihill, followed by a moment of pause and the laying of a wreath in the atrium of the student centre, where the plaques honouring those from Mount Allison who died in WWI, WWII, the Boer War, and the Korean War are displayed outside of Tweedie Hall.Â
Members of the university community are also invited to attend the community Remembrance Day service hosted by the Sackville NB Legion Branch #26 at Convocation Hall on Wednesday, Nov. 11, at 10 a.m.Â
