The Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer
The Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer dates back to the 1920s. At the ceremony, graduating engineering students and those with acceptable qualifications take the Obligation Oath and are presented with the Iron Ring. Uniquely Canadian, the Ritual operates through Camps located across the country. Camp 8 is the only camp operating in Manitoba.
