TRENT UNIVERSITY
PLEASE NOTE: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the current difficulties around international travel, TRYKOMAC 1 took place online, rather than in person at Trent University’s Symons campus. It is hoped that TRYKOMAC 2 will take place in person, whether at Trent University as shown here, or at Yukon University.
The host of TRYKOMAC 1 is Trent University , one of Canada’s top universities for undergraduates. Trent was the first-ever Canadian university to establish programmes in Canadian Studies and Indigenous Studies, and one of the first to establish an Environmental Studies/Science programme. It is now renowned for Arctic, Indigenous and environmental scholarship. Founded in 1964, the university’s Symons campus boasts striking modernist architecture nestled into a beautiful natural setting along the banks of the Otonabee River. The vibrant city of Peterborough, Ontario, lies just to the south of campus, to which it is connected by frequent bus service.
THE CITY OF PETERBOROUGH

Gateway to the Kawarthas, one of Ontario’s most beloved landscapes of lakes and forest, and situated along the banks of the Otonabee River, part of the historic overland Trent-Severn waterway connecting Lake Huron and Lake Ontario, Peterborough is one of Canada’s small-city gems. Amongst the first Canadian cities to run on hydroelectricity, and home to the Canadian Canoe Museum and the world’s largest hydraulic lift lock, Peterborough has maintained a close association with the waters that surround it. Boasting deep Indigenous First Nations heritage and a literary history that stretches back to the pioneer women writers Susanna Moodie and Catherine Parr Traill, Peterborough and the Kawarthas are also a significant cultural destination.
Though TRYKOMAC is an all-day affair, visiting delegations will still have time to explore Peterborough’s many historic and modern attractions. For more about what Peterborough and the Kawarthas have to offer the visitor, see the website of Peterborough and the Kawarthas Tourism .
