Experienced Engineers will be presenting you with your ring. You can choose to have a specific Engineer present your ring to you. All Ring Presenters must be Obligated Canadian Engineers (no exceptions). We require the camp number in which their obligation took place. Winnipeg’s camp is 8, and you can find a list of other camps on the Iron Ring website.
