In Memoriam

Olds College has a tradition of lowering flags on campus to half-mast position as a sign of mourning at the death of a current student, faculty or staff member, serving member of the Board of Governors or honorary degree recipient. 

Flags may be lowered for National, Provincial or International incidents or deaths that have a direct connection to the College, and for national days of remembrance. 

To learn more, please see the Olds College Flag protocol.
