UoGuelph OAC celebrates 150th anniversary

The Ontario Agricultural College at the University of Guelph has officially kicked off its 150th anniversary celebrations. OAC—which welcomed its first cohort of students on May 1, 1874—is marking 150 years of agricultural innovation with several events over the next eight months, including historical campus tours, Food Day Canada celebrations, and an alumni weekend. To honour the occasion, OAC has released an ice cream flavour called “Heart and Stone,” which is made with peaches, cream, and honey from the Honey Bee Research Centre. “The entire University of Guelph community is thrilled to celebrate this significant milestone in our history,” said UoGuelph President Dr Charlotte Yates.
