About the Lowering of the Flag
The University of British Columbia has three main flags on the campus:
- Canadian Flag at the intersection of Main mall and Crescent Road
- BC Flag at the intersection of Main Mall and Agronomy
- UBC Flag at the SUB North Plaza
The Ceremonies Office arranges for the lowering of either the BC or Canadian flag at the passing of a member of the campus community. When this occurs, the information is sent via email to over 50 individuals on campus for distribution campus-wide, and it is also posted on this web page.
The UBC Flag is replaced occasionally by other flags being flown for special occasions; such as the Musqueam flag being flown on Aboriginal Day, the Rainbow flag being flown during Pride Week, the United Way flag being flown during the UBC United Way campaign, etc.
If you require more information on any of the above, please contact the Ceremonies Office at ceremonies.office@ubc.ca or call 604.822.2484.
