We are so excited to have you celebrate the accomplishments of our graduates! Each ceremony takes approximately 1.5 - 2 hours. Out of respect for the graduates and other guests, we ask that guests please remain seated for the duration of the ceremony.
Procession
Our procession, led by our local First Nations Elders brings the grandstands from the Birch building to the doors of the Sportsplex. The student procession is led by our Parade Marshall, Nanci Lucas who is the Chair of Capilano University Senate.
Following the student procession is the platform party which is led by our Mace Bearer. Following Scottish Tradition, the mace is carried by our Director of Facilities, Susan Doig.
Guests will be asked to stand for the procession and remain standing for the singing of the national anthem.
