2025 marks the 100th anniversary of the Iron Ring Ceremony in Canada, a significant milestone for the Canadian engineering community. We are proud to have many local companies in Kanata with employees with engineering backgrounds. The Iron Ring, traditionally worn on the little finger of the working hand, serves as a constant reminder of the moral, ethical, and professional obligations that come with the engineering profession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To celebrate this occasion, we\u2019re pleased to offer an opportunity for our engineering community to engage with this tradition. A representative from the Iron Ring Ceremonies will be onsite:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Date: Tuesday February 11, 2025<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time: 8:00am-5:00pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Location: Carleton Universtiy at Kanata, 350 Legget Drive, Suite 101<\/p>\n\n\n\n
