The '''Skule™ Cannon''', also known as '''Ye Olde Mighty Skule™ Cannon''', is the official mascot of [[Skule]]™ the University of Toronto Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering. It is a hand-held custom-designed weapon which is fired at many major University and Faculty events. The Skule™ Cannon has been in existence since at least 1936, and numerous Cannons have been forged over the years. Old retired Cannons have often been presented to historically significant members of the University community, such as former Assistant Dean [[Malcolm McGrath]], former Dean James Ham, and retired Campus Police Sgt. Cox. | |||
The Cannon is protected by a trained Cannon Guard, led by the [[Chief Attiliator]] whose identity remains a secret until his unveiling each year at [[GradBall]]. | |||
The Skule™ Cannon is often accompanied by the [[Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad]], which usually plays and sings [[Godiva's Hymn]] before the firing of the Cannon. Public firings of the Cannon is usually followed by the [[Skule Yell]]. | |||
