In-person courses and workshop offerings from Continuing Education at Trent University are back at Traill College and open to lifelong learners from the community who are looking to build connections and learn something new in topics like bee keeping, music, writing, cooking, and more. 

“For the first time in two years, in-person Continuing Education classes are back at Catharine Parr Traill College in downtown Peterborough,” said Dr. Michael Eamon, principal of Catharine Parr Traill College and director of Continuing Education at Trent. “Here at Traill, members of the greater community can find inspiration and discover something new alongside fellow lifelong learners, while immersing themselves in Traill’s unique learning spaces, using the College Library, or taking in a meal at The Trend café.”  

Continuing Education Open House – October 5

Traill College will be hosting a special Continuing Education Open House event on Wednesday, October 5 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. where community members can learn more about the course offerings, meet instructors, and explore the learning environment at Traill College’s picturesque downtown Peterborough location.

There are number of new course offerings this fall that span a variety of topics and interests including music, writing, American Sign Language, and bee keeping.
