Traditions
>> Painting the Cannon - An antique British naval gun, “Old Jeremiah,” rests in Branion Plaza near the University Centre. Old Jeremiah is the subject of one of the most creative and colourful traditions on the U of G campus. Students paint the cannon with messages about events, causes, clubs and even marriage proposals. Tradition dictates it can be painted only between sunset and sunrise.
>> College Royal - This annual University open house is held each March. It is the largest student-run open house in Canada.
>> Gryphon Statue - This sculpture designed by a University of Guelph multidisciplinary artist collective called FASTWÜRMS and installed at the campus main entrance has become a go-to “selfie” location for students, visitors and community members.
