All are invited!

This fall the 40th Annual Trent Temagami Colloquium runs September 20th to 23rd 2012 at Camp Wanapitei in Temagami, Ontario.

This annual event is sponsored by a number of academic programs at Trent and seeks to examine and experience our understanding of the land with a focus on the study of Canadian, environmental, and Indigenous issues. This unique event celebrates interdisciplinary, experiential learning.

Everyone - faculty, staff, alumni and students - is invited! A special invitation is extended to all international students and scholars.

Wanapitei has been selected primarily for the beauty and remoteness of its location. Away from the urbanized south, the Temagami country is rich in history and home to generations of Teme-Augama-Anishnabai.

Each day, faculty and students will organize into small groups for guided hiking and canoe trips in the immediate region. Expeditions will be tailored to suit the skill level of participants. Instruction in canoeing will be offered to those indicating an interest. Each group will pack a lunch and eat on the land. Late afternoon and evening programs will include lectures, films, readings, square dancing, and informal discussion.

Each year, we invite a number of people to share papers and presentations related to the colloquium themes around the land. If you are interested in presenting your work and research, please contact us. 

The cost of the weekend colloquium, including transportation, food, activities and accommodation, is $150 for students and $200 for faculty/staff. Participants need to bring warm sleeping bags and clothes. More details are provided with registration. Please see the "Forms" tab above, or click the link below. The absolute deadline for payment is Tuesday, September 18th, 2012. But space is limited and will be reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. Register early!

Registration forms can be found here and should be delivered to the Kawartha World Issues Centre, Environmental Science Building, Room B101, Trent University, PO Box 895, Peterborough, ON K9J 7A2.
