The Great Northern Concrete Toboggan Race (GNCTR) is the largest and longest running engineering student competition in Canada.  400 engineering students from 20 institutions are required to design and construct a toboggan with concrete running surface(s), a roll cage, and mechanical steering and braking systems that combine to safely glide the toboggans down a steep snow-covered hill.


This year, the competition was hosted in St. John’s, NL from Feb 7th to 11th, which marks the 50th anniversary of the competition and Waterloo’s 40th year competing! 17 Waterloo engineers travelled to race down the hill in their golf-themed “Tee-Bog” and took home the Sustainability Award, as well as scoring highly in multiple Civil-focused categories!
