"For
the Record" ... NCCC statistics.
The 2008 CNCCC was hosted by Dalhousie University and held May 9-11, 2008 in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Ecole de Technologie Superieure (ETS) squeezed out defending champion, Université de Sherbrooke, and Universite Laval for the Canadian national title. ETS is the host of the US 2008 National Concrete Competition and will represent the Upstate New York Conference there.
Toronto won the design paper, Ecole Polytechnique placed first in the oral presentation, and ETS won the best product. The scores were really close; races were not held due to high winds. Ecole Polytechnique will host the 2009 Canadian National Concrete Canoe Competition in Quebec.
The 2008 BetonKanoeRace (concrete canoe race) will be held on May 16-18, prior to the international fib symposium in Amsterdam. The event is organized by TU Delft and races will be held at the Delftse Hout. Competitions such as this date back to the early '70s.
The first Singapore National Concrete Canoe Competition is currently underway with races to be held on May 25, 2008. The event is sponsored by Nanyang Technological University. Welcome Singapore!
"Concrete canoeing has become an international epidemic that has no apparent cure"... excerpted from: "The international epidemic of concrete canoeing" by John A. Gilbert and Andrea L. Barnes, Concrete Canoe Magazine, pp. 4-11, 2008.
In 2006, alumni from Laval (eight time Canadian National Concrete Canoe Champs - statistics) published the inaugural issue of "Concrete Canoe Magazine." Their intent was to disseminate knowledge and recent developments in concrete canoeing and to share experiences among concrete canoe enthusiasts and former participants. If you haven't seen the magazine yet, you can download PDF copies of the first two issues... free... by visiting.
