True Blue (sometimes called Trevor True Blue) is the official mascot of the University of Toronto and the Toronto Varsity Blues. He is a blue anthropomorphic beaver.
True Blue appears at all Varsity Blues home football games and some basketball, volleyball and hockey home games and campus events, notably orientation week on the St. George campus. He also makes regular appearances at CIBC Run for the Cure, Pride Toronto, and during halftime at Toronto Maple Leafs and Toronto Marlies hockey games. He represents the university and specifically its athletics department, which oversees varsity sports.
Every year, usually two or three students from any of University of Toronto's three campuses wear the costume as part of a work-study program.
