Catharine Parr Traill College is located in the heart of Peterborough, Ontario. It offers an important physical connection between the University and the greater Peterborough community. For over five decades, the College has been a hub for cultural expression, music, theatre, film, and debate where youth and community members mingle and engage with professional artists and scholars.
The construction of the Amphitheatre at Traill College is the first step in Trent University’s fostering of a larger community space for performance and expression. The projected cost for the Amphitheatre will be approximately $1.4 million (which includes landscaping, theatrical sound and lighting, a professional stage, and accessible pathways). Currently, almost $900,000 has been raised for the project. Efforts continue to raise funds to assist with the completion and continued operation of the Jalynn Bennett Amphitheatre.
During the last weekend of September Champlain hosts and celebrates Harvest Weekend. Harvest has a plethora of events. Over the Friday and Saturday of the weekend there is a touch football tournament called ‘The Pig Bowl’ hosted by Champlain College Cabinet. Throughout the weekend there is also Learn to Canoe, a BBQ and Fall Fair hosted by the Champlain College Office, events by Trent International and a Harvest dinner for ALL Champlain students. This weekend has something for everyone.
