The Riveter, a 7-foot-tall aluminum statue, celebrates the elite skills of the Boilermaker. It was developed by the Boilermaker History Preservation Department and used at the 33rd Consolidated Convention in 2016 to welcome the delegates.

The International Executive Council elected to donate the statue to Lodge 146 to show Boilermaker pride. The statue was installed during the first week of May 2018 in front of Lodge 146 Edmonton hall. All Boilermakers are welcome to visit the Riveter at Lodge 146 next time you are in Edmonton.
