In Flanders fields the poppies blow, and they continue to bloom on McGill campus. Eric Gottesman (U3 Management) and Jonathan Suss (U2 Civil Engineering) sell a Remembrance Day poppy to Catherine Pollock (U3 Mining) from their stand on lower campus. The community is invited to meet at Roddick Gates, November 11 at 10:35 am, to join a McGill procession led by Principal Heather Munroe-Blum to commemorate Remembrance Day. A moment of silence will be observed in the foyer of the Arts Building. There you can also see the University Archives exhibit "McGill Remembers: World War Two" until November 18. Visit their virtual display at www.archives.mcgill.ca/public/hist_scevents.
