Great Northern Concrete Toboggan Race
The GNCTR began in 1974, as a joint venture between the American Concrete Institute and the University of Alberta. Since its initiation, the GNCTR has challenged its participants to use creativity, skill, and innovation in the design and construction of a concrete toboggan. In the first week of February 2005, the University of Calgary will host the 31st annual Great Northern Concrete Toboggan Race.
Objectives
Concrete toboggans are evaluated on various technical and non-technical aspects including concrete mix design, braking system design, technical exposition, and aesthetics. To win this competition the sled must be fast, innovative, and original.
Sponsorship
Many individuals, businesses, and organizations have enjoyed a long and mutually beneficial relationship with the University of Waterloo. Sponsorship of the University of Waterloo GNCTR 2005 team will give your company extensive visibility within the Campus community. Our team is looking for support in any form; financial, material, or service related. Our current budget is $25,000 to make the trip to Calgary possible.
