Trinity offers a range of athletic, social, interest-based and wellness clubs that allow any student to feel at home!
There are a number of ways students can get involved at Trinity College. Students have the opportunity of attending the Trinity Clubs Fair and the UTSU Clubs Fair at Orientation Week to learn more about what kinds of clubs and activities are available to them. Moreover, all clubs will post club and event information on Trin This Week (TTW), which is a weekly agenda of events that is available on the website, the 2T5 Facebook page and by email.
Students can get involved with levied clubs, but also have the opportunity of getting involved with many non-levied clubs. Students are also always encouraged to start their own clubs. Trinity is also home to three student publications and students can get involved with them either on a freelance basis or by joining their executive committees.
You can also get involved in Trinity Governance! We have regular Trinity College Meetings that allows every student to have a voice on governance matters as well as elections. More information can be found on the Trinity College Meeting page.

Trinity College Dramatic Society (TCDS)
The Trinity College Dramatic Society (TCDS) is the club responsible for the funding and mounting of theatrical productions at Trinity College. It facilitates the involvement of Trinity students in all aspects of theatre either on or offstage, where 60% of every cast and crew must be made up of Trinity College students. All shows take place at Trinity and students can buy tickets at a reduced price. Meetings of this executive happen on a monthly basis, or with higher frequency when needed.
The Trinity College Literary Institute, also known as The Lit, is the oldest debating society in Canada. Founded in the 1840s, the club started as a serious debating society to discuss issues of politics and theology, but early in the 1900s the mandate of the Lit switched to that of a satirical debating society. The Lit meets on Wednesday evenings during the academic year at 9:00 PM where two sides face off in a parliamentary style debate. The meetings consist of alternating speeches from the Government and the Opposition, where debaters clash hilariously over the weekly resolution.
The TCES is open to all students and staff at Trinity College who have an interest in environmental issues. The club hosts a diversity of events such as documentary nights, conferences, discussions, debates etc. The club works to improve the College’s environmental sustainability, and works towards larger environmental goals in the local and global community. The TCES meets every couple weeks and hosts a couple of events each month on average and often collaborates with many other clubs like the Lit, the TCVS, and U of T wide groups like UTERN and ENSU.

We are governed by our student members as well as elected executives, and are independent of all government, corporate or political persuasion. No outside funding is sought, with the exception of the Trinity College student levy. Read the WUSC Constitution here.
