Flag Guidelines and Status
The University of Winnipeg recognizes the Treaty One Territory Flag, the Manitoba Métis Federation Flag, the National Flag of Canada, the Flag of Manitoba, and the University of Winnipeg Flag. In addition, the University displays flags celebrating and/or commemorating important dates throughout the year, such as the Survivors' (National Day for Truth and Reconciliation), Pride, and Trans Day of Visibility flags.
Per the University Flag Policy, flags are lowered to half-mast during national or provincial days of mourning and to mourn the loss of an employee, student, retiree, honorary degree or fellowship recipient, Board of Regents member, or current or past President, Chancellor, or Board Chair.
Notice of the flags being lowered is shared on this page and given in the University’s faculty and staff newsletter.
To notify the University community of a passing, please contact Human Resources.
