December 15 2024 marked the 50th anniversary of first beam at TRIUMF, which first sprang forth from the cyclotron back in 1974.
Last year, we announced a new project to capture community stories from across the last 50 years of beam: 50 stories for 50 years of beam
This project commemorates the role of community in the many successes and achievements at TRIUMF.
Today, we are pleased and proud to share the site with our community: 50stories.triumf.ca


This museum-inspired, narrative-focused site explores TRIUMF’s rich history from the perspective of our community, highlighting how our lab came to be the internationally-renowned facility and home for subatomic physics research in Canada.
We’ve made every effort to make this new project accessible to everyone.
You’ll find it optimized for mobile and tablet viewing as well compatible with all modern web browsers.
Our story continues to evolve as TRIUMF grows our science program and delivers impact for Canadians. If you have a story that you think deserves to be added, make sure to check out the ‘Add Story’ section at the bottom of the site.
