Each year on November 11, Trent University participates in a solemn observance of Remembrance Day. Together, our community pays tribute to all individuals who served in the military and acknowledges their significant contributions. This day is a time for reflection, respect, and gratitude as we honour the sacrifices made by veterans and active members of Canada’s Armed Forces who have served and continue to serve our country.
