Survivors’ Flagpole Preparation Underway

On Sept. 29, UVic’s President and Vice-Chancellor Kevin Hall received a Survivors’ Flag from Klith-wii-taa, Barney Williams, as part of an on-campus ceremony to honour Orange Shirt Day.

This symbolic flag will soon have a permanent, prominent place in the quad.

Facilities Management is working with RJC Structural Engineering and Aral Construction to install the new flagpole, along with accompanying concrete, exterior signage. The work area will be fenced for safety during the excavation, concrete placement and flagpole installation.

The project will involve heavy equipment and may be noisy for adjacent areas for a few weeks while this work is underway.

We apologize for any inconvenience this project may cause. Please use caution and obey all safety signage.
