Ontario Agricultural College 150th Anniversary

Your Legacy. Our Future.

Since opening our doors in May 1874, we've become internationally renowned for our research, teaching and knowledge extension in the broad areas of food, agriculture, communities and the environment. This year, we proudly kicked off our 150th-anniversary celebrations in May 2024, marking a momentous milestone in our storied history.

As we continue to commemorate this significant anniversary, we invite you to explore our rich history, connect with fellow OAC community members, and join us in charting a bold course for the future. Here's to 150 years of OAC!
