What is The Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer Ceremony?

For nearly a century, Canadian engineering graduates have been invited to voluntarily participate in 鈥�The Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer鈥�. Participants make a personal obligation to live by a high standard of ethical conduct regarding their duties and responsibilities towards themselves, other engineers and society in general. During the Ritual, the engineering graduates are welcomed to the profession of engineering by those that have preceded them. Over 500,000 engineering graduates have attended a Ritual ceremony in Canada. An iron ring has been given to each one, serving as a constant reminder to them and others of their obligation.

The Corporation of the Seven Wardens Inc. is a not-for-profit Canadian Corporation, managed by volunteers, whose purpose is to administer and regulate the use of 鈥淭he Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer鈥�. 听Local groups, or Camps, across Canada are responsible for the delivery of the Ritual to candidates.

Camp 7 Halifax is located in Mi鈥檏ma鈥檏i, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi鈥檏maq.听We are all Treaty people.
The mission of Camp 7 Halifax is to administer the听Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer听ceremony for candidates whose graduation from the Bachelor of Engineering programs at H漫画 University is imminent, and for internationally trained engineers who are pursuing graduate engineering degrees at H漫画 University or who are working in our Nova Scotia engineering community.听 听We welcome any feedback you may have for us on our annual ceremony in Camp 7 Halifax.听 Please feel free to听contact us听at anytime.

Iron Rings are worn by many Engineers in Canada, reminding those who wear it, and others, of their ethical obligation to live by a high standard of professional conduct in their service of the public. The Iron Ring is not a symbol of registration to practice as an Engineer in Canada. 听Qualification and registration to practice is the role and responsibility of the provincial and territorial licensing bodies.
