Saturday is an action-packed day with three major events planned: Market
Skunt, the Dean’s Supper and group boat-building. A late start is
anticipated to accommodate for recovery from the Pub Crawl, although buses
leave at 12:30 sharp!
|
|
Groups will meet at noon in the MacKenzie Engineering Quad. Buses will
then take groups into the market for the afternoon activities. An urban
scavenger hunt in downtown Ottawa, Market Skunt is the ultimate in social
interaction. You’ll have to bargain with downtown proprietors for the
valuable Market Skunt items. Frosh are also assigned a number of other
tasks to prove their resourcefulness and Engineering pride.

Many years ago, Frosh hung a ten story, 100 foot sign down the side of
Dunton Tower, a huge Arts building on campus. Administration, Faculty,
Students, and other Frosh groups were blown away by this incredible feat.
This display of Engineering pride has been unparalleled in the years
since.

Once the Skunt Gods have been appeased, they will allow groups to proceed
to the Dean's Supper. The first opportunity for Frosh to meet and greet
our wonderful Dean. The Dean of Engineering has always held a special
place in our hearts, and is an invaluable resource for Engineering student
projects and societies.

After supper, the groups will provide transportation to the individual
group sites. From the sites, groups will start building their boats for
the traditional Boat Race. From the Bronson Bridge, the Rideau Canal
stretches almost one kilometre to the Hartwell Locks at Carleton
University. Groups will race against each other, but more importantly,
rival Ottawa University. Boats must be built from scrounged materials,
with a limit placed on the total cost of the materials which needed to be
bought. Emphasis for the boatrace is on boat design and construction,
previous Frosh groups have built some incredible devices.

If the group spot has appropriate facilities, groups are encouraged to
finish their boat and sleepover at the site, then transport themselves and
their boat to the MacKenzie Engineering Quad the next day.
