Flag of TRU
The blue field refers to the brilliant skies, lakes and rivers that envelope the region where Thompson Rivers University is located. The wavy circle around the sun represents the sacred circle of life, a central tenet in the First Nations’ belief systems. It also stands for the never-ending character of learning. Lastly, the wavy feature of the circle recalls that the university is located near a junction of several water sources vital to the First Nations in the region. The sun is a symbol of light and learning, a principal endeavour behind academic institutions.
