A message from Santa J. Ono, President and Vice-Chancellor
Earlier today, the federal government declared September 19 as a day of mourning in honour of Queen Elizabeth II to coincide with her funeral in London, U.K. The Province of BC followed suit recognizing this day as a public holiday.
In recognition of the Prime Minister’s announcement and based on direction from the Province, UBC will be observing this day as a national day of mourning on both campuses and our distributed learning sites. Classes will be cancelled and university employees will receive this day off subject to operational requirements.
