By Country:Canada

Memorial Gates are a military memorial which are part of the University of Saskatchewan, in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. These Gates were originally the entrance gates to the university campus and flanked University Drive. In the 1980s, due to increased traffic to the southwest portion of the campus, primarily Royal University Hospital, a new road entrance was built to the west. The gates remain, with the remnant of University Drive passing through them renamed Memorial Crescent. The gates are now primarily used by pedestrians, though the roadway is open to vehicles.
