The University of Toronto
Bicentennial
200 Years of Learning, Discovery and Global Impact
In 2027, the University of Toronto will celebrate its Bicentennial. This is a historic opportunity to reflect together on our past, celebrate our achievements, and imagine a future defined by excellence, equity, innovation, and global impact.
The University community and our partners are invited to participate, contribute, and continue to build on our remarkable shared history.
More information about U of T’s Bicentennial will be shared throughout 2026 as we begin the countdown to an extraordinary year in 2027.
Meeting the Moment Together
In just over a year, the U of T community will celebrate our Bicentennial. I invite you to join me in reflecting on our first two centuries, and in looking ahead to our third. Together we’ll envision how we can write the next chapters in U of T’s history.
Let us draw inspiration from our past – our record of achievement, and even more, our history of learning and growth. As we look to our future, let us allow our ambitions to match our talents, and our hopes to rise to our highest ideals. Let us resolve that our ultimate priority will be this: to meet the moment, whatever it requires, for the communities around us, for Canadians, and for all humanity.”
