MAP
Founder’s Day is celebrated annually by
the Western community on March 7. It is a time for Western to remember
the contributions of its founders and celebrate our students, staff,
faculty and alumni and their accomplishments. One of Canada’s oldest
universities, Western was founded on March 7, 1878 when the charter was
proclaimed. To commemorate this day, members of the Alumni Association
have developed a grassroots initiative to promote Founder’s Day.
