1. The death of an employee will be officially recognized by Lambton College.
2. This policy applies to all full-time and part-time employees.
3. Flag(s) will be lowered from the date of announcement of the death of an employee until the funeral or memorial service is held, unless this is a lengthy period (greater than three days), in which case the flag(s) will be lowered on date of announcement and again on date of funeral or memorial service.
