Celebrating 60 Years of Post-Secondary Education Excellence

In 2020, we celebrated 60 years of post-secondary education excellence in the north!

And, although our 60th anniversary year coincided with a global pandemic, we still found creative ways to celebrate and honour our past, present and future, while giving back to our community. 

  • On behalf of Thorneloe University, please accept our hearty congratulations on the sixtieth anniversary of the creation of Huntington University. Huntington University has taken new and successful directions, which are an inspiration to us all. As members of the Laurentian Federation, your success is our success. Lastly, with Huntington's roots in the United Church of Canada, and Thorneloe's affiliation with the Anglican Church of Canada, our collaboration over the past decades represents both the ecumenical challenges and achievements of our ecclesial bodies. As the motto of the United Church of Canada says, Ut omnes unum sint, "may they all be one.
