Brock University will join Canadians in coming together to honour veterans for their service and sacrifice during two upcoming national days of remembrance.

On Sunday, Nov. 8, the Brock community is encouraged to mark Indigenous Veterans Day by reflecting on First Nations, Métis and Inuit contributions to Canada’s military and peacekeeping missions.

The Hadiya’dagénhahs First Nations, Métis and Inuit Student Centre hosted a beaded poppy-making workshop at Brock’s Burlington Campus on Monday, Nov. 2. A second workshop will take place on the St. Catharines Campus on Friday, Nov. 6 from noon to 1 p.m. Attendees are encouraged to register through ExperienceBU.

Remembrance Day on Wednesday, Nov. 11 will be a time to commemorate those who served in times of war, conflict and peace around the world.

A commemorative ceremony will take place in the Rankin Family Pavilion at 10:45 a.m. to honour the sacrifices of Canadian Armed Forces members and Royal Canadian Military Police who lost their lives in service as well as those who continue to serve today.

The Brock community is encouraged to participate in remembrance events on campus and throughout the region.
