Remembrance Day

Memorial University was founded, and is aptly named, as a living memorial to those who served in the First World War. It was later re-dedicated to also honour Newfoundland's war dead of the Second World War.

Each year, a Ceremony of Remembrance is held to reflect on the lives lost and the sacrifices made by those who fought for country and future.
