Rye-D-Boat 3 finished 1st in Division D, while Rye-D-Boat 2 finished 2nd in Division C.

The next competition is the Toronto International Dragon Boat Festival, June 25-26.

The first Eggy mascot- a real ram – was purchased by students from the stockyards in 1961. In all, there were six versions of Eggy until the use of a live ram on campus was discontinued in 1991. The first two Eggies lived on campus in a pen and shed behind what is now Oakham House. Why a ram mascot? Because three rams appear on the Ryerson coat of arms. Photo credit: Ryerson Archives.
