Champlain's Coat of Arms

The compact rose recalls Champlain’s role as explorer and cartographer. The wavy line, taken over from the Trent University and the Peterborough coat of arms suggests the Otonabee River. The mural crown evokes the architecture of the College, and the motto comes directly from Champlain’s diaries - “Continue my discoveries.” 

As a college named after the founder of the City of Quebec, long the principal town of New France, we draw attention to this by using a silver mural crown charged with three blue fleurs-de-lys. It evokes not only the tower as the principal architectural feature of the College by representing the crenelled top of the heraldic town, but also one of the more important achievements of the man whom the College is named.

Challenge the Way You Think

Trent University respectfully acknowledges it is located on the treaty and traditional territory of the Mississauga Anishinaabeg. We offer our gratitude to First Peoples for their care for, and teachings about, our earth and our relations. May we honour those teachings.
