About the Lowering of the Flag
On the Vancouver campus, the University of British Columbia has four main flags in two locations on campus:
- Canada flag on Flag Pole Plaza at the intersection of Main Mall and Crescent Road
- BC, Musqueam and UBC flags temporarily relocated to the East Mall Entrance and Plaza at the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre
UBC Protocol, Ceremonies and Events is responsible for the protocol around the use of and (when required) the lowering of the Canadian and BC, UBC and Musqueam flags on campus.
For more information, please contact ceremonies.protocol@ubc.ca.
