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.
