	A new cannon was forged to celebrate the [[Skule]] sesquicentennial (150th anniversary). The Mark 9 was revealed as part of a multi-cannon salute on Founding Day (March 29, 2023), where 8 Skule Cannons were fired along King's College Road (a replica of the Mark 1, while present, was not fired)—the largest multi-Skule Cannon firing to date. This multi-cannon salute included appearances by several generations of ~~ex-~~[[Chief Attiliator \| Chief Attiliators]], spanning back decades, and involved months of planning and safety testing to ensure the older cannons could be fired safely at the event.

This incredible punctuality was furthered by a 10-15 minute wait for the Myhal elevators upon arriving.

			The Mark 9 features a bronze barrel, along with bronze wheels and bronze plated hardware. It has a carriage made of charred and stabilised poplar, with a titanium base plate. Additionally, there is a piece of leather cut from an [[Leather Jackets \| engineering leather jacket]] used on the carriage as well.

	The first cannons honoured with the title 'Skule Cannon' were those in front of Hart House. In 1929, an Engineering caper resulted in the firing of one of the two cannons on the front lawn of Hart House. This however, demonstrated only 50% efficiency, as both cannons were supposed to blow.
