About the Canadian
Competition
Concrete canoe competitions were
reportedly organized in Canada
by Sheridan College and Seneca College
during the mid-'70s... but interest in the sport dwindled by 1980.
It wasn't until the
Ecole de Technologie Superieure (ETS) was founded in
Montreal
in 1994 that concrete canoe competitions were reintroduced.
ETS
hosted 4 competitions before other schools took the lead.
Rotation began in 1998 with
Sherbrooke, Queen's,
Laval, and Toronto
serving as the hosts of what has now become the Canadian National Concrete
Canoe Competition (CNCCC). Nowadays,
the rules are based on the U.S. Nationals; and. 10 to 15 Canadian
universities from six different provinces meet every year.
In 2007, the finals for
the competition were broadcast live via the web courtesy of Discovery
The event was hosted
by
Queens
University
in Kingston
, Ontario
where the Universite de Sherbrooke successfully defended their national
title.
In 2013, ETS qualified for the
U.S. National Concrete Canoe Competition by winning the Upstate New York
Conference and went on to win the first U.S. title ever held by a Canadian
team.
