Flags on campus are lowered on campus in recognition of the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women, and in honour of Nelson Mandela.
The fields, located at the corner of Sir John A. Macdonald Boulevard and Johnson Street, are used by Queen’s students and the broader Kingston community from April to November.
To mark the day, several activities are planned for staff, including tours of the Phytotron greenhouse, a musical performance and free fitness classes.
