Convocation Ceremony Family and friends are requested to rise when the academic procession enters, and remain standing until the conclusion of the invocation.
Following the convocation address, the graduands will rise for the general presentation of candidates and then resume their seats. Afterwards, graduands will be called and presented for the awarding of certificates, and undergraduate and graduate degrees.
At the end of the ceremony, the audience is invited to join in the singing of O Canada. Once the national anthem is completed, the audience is asked to remain standing until the conclusion of the academic recession.
O CANADA O Canada! Our home and native land! True patriot love in all thy sons command. With glowing hearts we see thee rise, The True North strong and free! From far and wide, O Canada, We stand on guard for thee. God keep our land glorious and free! O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
Invocation
Russell Viirre In the toil of thinking; in the serenity of books; in the messages of prophets, the songs of poets and the wisdom of interpreters; in discoveries of continents of truth whose margins we may see; we delight in free minds and in their thinking.
In the majesty of the moral order; in the faith that right will triumph; in the courage given us when we ally ourselves to truth in any form; in the privilege of being co-workers in good causes; we celebrate the unseen goals we share and serve.
Let us build a world safe from war and oppression, free and satisfying, one that ultimately furnishes answers for us all.
