"I remember one day I was sitting in the park in front of the biochemistry building when a group of students stopped and told me they had a project to sing and film O Canada with people they didn't know. I told them that I didn't know the words and that I wasn't a Canadian. They told me to follow their lead and we sang together. I think that's when Trent started to feel like home to me."
