| Back From Competition | May 29, 2009 |
| we are back from a very productive competition. We ended up coming in
10th postion overall just above Mcgill, but not high enough to beat anyone else. Thats not to say that we didn't come back
empty hand we actually pick up more awards then any other University in Ontario. We came back with the Spirit Award, and
Rookie of the Year. Both awards can be see in the civil department office along side all of the other concrete canoe
trophies. We would like to thank all of the other teams that competited with us. Everyone help us out in some way or another
from New Brunswicks partying to Queen's, Western, Polytechniques helping out with carrying the canoe. Our first year there was
pretty amazing and I would recommend all Canadians universities join up, espically Carleton. Looking froward to 2010 and the
University of Toronto, way to own up when there where chosing the hosting school. |  |
| Competition Prep | May 14, 2009 |
| So just before going to Montreal when we where moving the canoe for the last time
before loading it the unthinkable happens, the canoe breaks in half and we have to come up with a patch job before it is
sea ready. We will see how it goes. |  |
| Materials | February 20, 2009 |
We are lucky enough to have gotten materials for a ton of different companies
to test out there products in our concrete mixtures. We got more specifically light weight aggregates, and fibers from the
following companys:- Poraver

Thanks to all the sponsors who donated materials. |  |

| Join the Team | January 8, 2009 |
| The concrete canoe competition is a great way to apply the knowlegel that
you gain from university, and you will find that you might have a lot to learn. We are working not just with simple concrete.
The concrete we do use is a special blend of binders, admixtures, fibers, and aggregates to achive a specific gravity of less
then one. Drop by the CSCE office CBY A08 to talk to people on the team, or send us an e-mail so we can invite you out to the
next meeting. |  |
| Old Canoe | November 20, 2008 |
| The commissioning of a trophy case and canoe stand was announced, the selected destination will be the
entrance of the civil department. The trophy case will be constructed from the remaining concrete canoe, as for the rest of the canoe
it will be placed along side laying down to show the glory of the head. |  |
| Candian National Competition 2006 | Spetember 11, 2008 |
| Here is a picture I found on the internet of the last University of
Ottawa team to compete in the competition. I have got to say tho nice job sculpting that. I had heard from our lab tech
that they had did it free head. This years team is going to be focusing more on how the canoe work as oppose to how it looks. |  |
