The Reddin Symposium is designed to improve community understanding about Canada. The Reddin family of Bowling Green originally suggested the idea of an annual Canadian symposium and has funded the event every year. Now in its twenty-second year, the symposium has covered a diverse range of topics that enhance our understanding of Canada.
