A series of events planned for Trent University’s 50th anniversary will be headlined by a performance by Blue Rodeo on August 8th as part of the University’s Anniversary Kick-Off Weekend, which takes place August 7th to 10th. The concert takes place at the Peterborough Memorial Centre, and headliners are Trent alumni band The Burning Hell. Tickets are available here.
 
That weekend of anniversary celebrations also comes with the launch of a special anniversary book about Trent's history, an architectural exhibition, open houses, and Ideas That Change the World Symposium featuring interactive panels with more than 75 esteemed faculty. All Kick-Off Weekend events are open to the entire community and have already attracted registrants from far and wide.
 
“We invite the entire community to join us in commemorating this historic milestone. Trent is Peterborough’s university,” says Dr. Steven E. Franklin, president and vice-chancellor of Trent University. “Whether you participate in one of the many dynamic events that are planned, share a favourite Trent moment through social media, or (re)connect with the University in a more personal way, we look forward to celebrating with you and thanking the community for all its support throughout Trent’s first half-century.”
