Memorial Gates are a military memorial which are part of the University of Saskatchewan, City of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. These Gates were first planned as the entrance gates to the University Campus. Due to expansion, and high traffic flow, they now serve as a westerly pedestrian entrance closer to the Royal University Hospital portion of the University Campus.
