RRC Polytech Reflects on Remembrance Day

November 10, 2023

Tomorrow is Remembrance Day, our annual reminder to reflect and honour those who have served and continue to serve our country during times of war, conflict and peace. All campuses will be closed on Monday, November 13 and all campus flags will be lowered to half-mast in observance of this day.

November 8 marked Indigenous Veteran’s Day, which specifically recognizes the contributions and sacrifices of Indigenous soldiers. If you haven’t already,  please read the recent profile on Jamie Wilson, Vice President, Indigenous Strategy, Research and Business Development at RRC Polytech. Prior to his career in education and post-secondary leadership, Jamie spent nine years serving in both the US and Canadian Armed Forces. Read more about his story here.

Lest we forget.

RRC Polytech campuses are located on the lands of Anishinaabe, Ininiwak, Anishininew, Dakota, and Dené, and the National Homeland of the Red River Métis.

We recognize and honour Treaty 3 Territory Shoal Lake 40 First Nation, the source of Winnipeg’s clean drinking water. In addition, we acknowledge Treaty Territories which provide us with access to electricity we use in both our personal and professional lives.
