President Bonnie Patterson led a ribbon-cutting ceremony and those gathered – approximately 200 staff, faculty and students – walked a lap around the track once. Participants then headed to the infield for a group photo.

A cake-cutting and open house in the P.S.B. Wilson Athletics Complex followed the opening ceremonies. Students, staff and faculty were invited to tour the new Health in Motion Physiotherapy and Sports Health Clinic, which opened September 7 in the Athletics Complex.

"We truly have a world-class facility for the benefit of the students, staff and faculty of the University as well as the community. This will be a major venue for sporting activity that will host exciting events such as the Women's Under-19 World Field Lacrosse Championships in 2007," said Trent President Bonnie Patterson.

"I look forward to seeing all Trent students enjoying the new field."
