Ring Presenters
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). Ring presentors must have a minimum of 4 years of engineering work experience. 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.
Ring Presenters do not require a guest ticket. The candidate has the option of providing their Ring Presenter with a guest ticket, or the presenter can pay the admission fee of $15 at the time of the ceremony.
Guests
Candidates can invite a maximum of two guests to the ceremony. Guest tickets are $15 each and must be purchased at the Sizing Session. Guest tickets are not available at the door. Guests must be seated by 7:45 pm on the evening of the ceremony.
