From its inception as part of the Ontario College system, the college has been synonymous with its two satellite locations of Perth and Pembroke, alongside its main campus in Ottawa. I spend the second half of the episode on the naming of Algonquin College, and the significance behind the school acknowledging the unceded land it shares with the Algonquin Anishinaabe people.

I rely on the expertise of Emma Anderson to examine the start of the school as a Catholic College named the College of Bytown. We discuss the Oblates, the group in charge of the school before it went private, and their broader impact on Canada. Additionally, we examine some of the remnants of uOttawa's history that have largely changed over the years, including the very conservative Catholic perspective of the school in its early years.
