Remembrance Day - no classes

Flags on the UPEI campus will be lowered to half mast on November 11 to mark Remembrance Day. 

Remembrance Day is a national holiday in Canada and a statutory holiday on PEI. UPEI is closed and there are no classes. 

The day is intended for "remembrance for the men and women who have served, and continue to serve our country during times of war, conflict, and peace"; particularly the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War, and all conflicts since then in which members of the Canadian Armed Forces have participated. 

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation - no classes

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation - no classes on Tuesday, September 30. 


September 30 is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also referred to as Orange Shirt Day—a day to “honour Survivors, their families, and communities, and ensure that public commemoration of the history and legacy of residential schools remains a vital component of the reconciliation process.” (Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada).

At UPEI, we have a responsibility to support and advance Truth and Reconciliation (TRC) on September 30 and throughout the year.
