Simon Fraser University's Interfaith Centre will conduct a brief campus memorial service on Tuesday, Feb. 28 at 12:30 p.m. in remembrance of students Brendan Midgley and Joseph Stryjak, who died tragically on Burnaby Mountain last month.

Everyone is invited to join Rev. Douglas Throop in Convocation Mall at the university's Burnaby campus to celebrate the two young men's lives with their families and their extended SFU family and friends.

Midgley, a second-year French student and Stryjak, a third-year criminology student, went missing in the early hours of Jan. 13 after spending an evening with friends on campus. Their bodies were recovered the next day at the base of a 61-metre cliff on the mountain's north side.

The men's families have established an SFU memorial bursary fund in their names. For more information, contact awards fundraising manager Preet Virk at 604.291.5310 or email pchhina@sfu.ca
