The Elders Gathering was first held at Trent in the 1970s and was the biggest event of its kind. The gathering provides an opportunity to share Indigenous knowledge through a series of workshops, presentations, and informal meetings. It is a unique chance for students and community members to listen to and learn from the stories and knowledge that elders and traditional people carry. Trent is honoured to welcome participants to the 41st annual Elders and Traditional Peoples Gathering.
