-====== Petrea Thule ======
-The Canton of Petrea Thule is located in the Barony of Septentria. Mundanely located in Peterborough Ontario, Petrea Thule is a long-established canton of more than three decades. The Canton of Petrea Thule has a long-standing relationship with Trent University; however it should be noted that the group is a canton, not a college. Because Petrea Thule is a stable and financially solvent group, they have sponsored and supported other, newer groups in the past; most recently the Shire of Bastille du Lac through its extended "incipient" period.
-According to the Historia Septentriae, Petrea Thule was established by Sylard of Eagleshaven as a penal colony is AS X (1977).
-===== Meetings =====
-All meetings are conducted in modern clothing.
-Famous for its archers, the Canton of Petrea Thule regularly meets at the Peterborough Fish and Game Club over the winter months; typically the meetings are Sunday afternoons and involve a two-hour archery tournament followed by three hours of armoured combat and rapier combat practice. Loaner equipment can be arranged through the Seneschal, Master Dafydd ap Sion (please contact him in advance.)
-Arts & Sciences meetings occur most Wednesdays during the school year on the Trent University campus; every other week is a "formal A&S night", typically a lecture or organized workshop; alternate weeks are "informal A&S nights" which usually involve hanging out and chatting while everyone works on their current project.
-During the summer months, armoured combat practices occur at various local parks on Wednesday nights, weather permitting. Typically the park is chosen a few days in advance and posted to the canton's e-list and proboards. This not only allows Petrea Thule's many fighters to practice outdoors, but also increases local awareness of the SCA to the community.
-As the meeting schedule and location tends to be fluid, new and potential members are encouraged to join the canton's Proboards as a way of keeping informed as to the schedule.
-===== Populace =====
-Members of Petrea Thule refer to themselves as "Thuligans" (rhyming with "Hooligans") and pride themselves on the principle of "Once a Thuligan, always a Thuligan": many people got their start in the SCA as students in Peterborough and then moved away after graduation but are always welcome to remain Thuligans, regardless of geographical location.
