It was a beautiful, sunny day on Friday, 20 May 2016 as many senior engineers were on hand at the Royal Military College of Canada (RMCC) Commissioning Parade to present the prestigious Major-General John Arthur Stewart Trophy. This trophy is awarded to the top military engineer cadet in his or her graduating year whose occupation classification is Engineer (MOC 24 / MOSID 00181) or Construction Engineer (MOC 46 / MOSID 00189).  It is sponsored by the Canadian Military Engineer Association (CMEA), and is based on high standards of proficiency in each of the four components of the Royal Military College of Canada; academic studies, athletic capability, military performance and bilingualism.  This year the trophy was presented to 26420 OCdt William Antoine Carle.
