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.
École de Technologie Supérieure
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.
Universite du Quebec a Chicoutimi
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.
