Competition - Tunnellers Cup

The Tunnellers' Cup was presented for annual competition by the Toronto Branch of the Military Engineers' Association of Canada in memory of the outstanding service rendered to Canada by the officers and men of the Canadian Tunnelling Companies RCE, 1939-1945.

The Tunnellers Cup

It was first awarded in 1990 to the Construction Engineering section or unit with the best project in construction engineering. The aim of the competition is to develop construction engineering military occupational skills and to promote esprit de corps among CME members of the Regular and Reserve forces.

The winners of this competition have been:

1991 - CFB Halifax
1992 - CFB Winnipeg
1993 - CFB Gagetown
1997 - CFB Moose Jaw

J3 Engineers sponsors this competition. Like the Patton-Cunnington Airfield Engineering Competition this competition is fairly broad in terms of the nature of project that may be entered. This opens the door for potential Bridges for Canada projects, but units must remember to clear such proposed projects through Command/Area headquarters.
