The Cannon, established in 1978, is the official magazine of the University of Toronto Engineering Society. Issues range in length from 24-32 pages, and are published both in print (up to 500 in circulation across campus) and online, four times throughout the school year (in September, November, January and March). Each issue contains written and visual compositions created by students, related to the selected issue theme.

The Cannon is one of two publications funded by the Engineering Society (the other being the Toike Oike).

History

[Under Development]

1977-78

The Engineering Society identified the need to expose the Faculty's professional and technical achievements to the engineering community. They resolved to introduce a more serious newspaper to contrast the more humorous newspaper, the Toike Oike. In 1978, the first issue of The Cannon was published in September. The newspaper was published every week that the Toike Oike was not.

1979-80

The publication schedule became monthly, as weekly publications were too demanding for staff.

1980-81

The Cannon was mailed to every student engineering society in Canada, to Ontario high schools, and to several alumni. Regular content included Society news and technical articles.

2011-2013

1T1-1T2 and 1T2-1T3 were noted as bad years for The Cannon newspaper, where publications were intermittent or lacking.

Yerusha Nuh, VP Communications 1T2-1T3, writes about the trouble in the January 2013 printed issue, with the announcement of establishing an online Cannon as its front page. Troubles mentioned included lack of commitment from staff members to dedicate to a regular publishing schedule, possible dying readership of printed issues as changing times called more for easier online access and social media integration, and the disappearance of 1T2-1T3 Editor-in-Chief (EIC) Vijay Unnithan from his responsibilities.

2013-2014

The Cannon (led by Co-Editors Ashkan Parcham-Kashani and Luke Household) ran their cannon.skule.ca website for a full school year as the online source of news around Skule, but also published 3 printed issues for distribution (F!rosh/September, January, and Post-EngSoc Elections/April)

2022-2023

The Cannon transitioned to a magazine format in October 2022. The magazine was generally well-received by the community.
