You are warmly invited to join us as we come together to celebrate the International Day of Peace.
The flag procession will begin at 11:00 AM at the Student Union and continue through Kingsmen Park to Samuelson Chapel, where we will gather for the Peace Pole rededication.
Everyone is welcome! You may join the procession by carrying a flag of the country you would like to represent or simply walking with us in the spirit of peace. CGE will provide the flags.
When you RSVP, please indicate whether you would like to carry a flag or walk for peace without a flag. This will help us prepare enough flags for everyone who would like one.
