We are SAIT GNCTR 2018!

Coming from all corners of the campus, we are a team of student working together to create an incredible toboggan to race at the 2018 Great Northern Concrete Toboggan Race. Held in January in Waterloo, the competition hosts over 20 different campuses across North America to see who has the best sled. SAIT's team consists of thirty students from several programs, including Civil Engineering Technology, Mechanical Engineering Technology, Architectural Technology, Construction Project Management, and Business Administration.

Throughout the semester we are combining our problem solving, communication, and project management skills to design and fabricate an innovative sled to take to the race. Every team member has contributed time and effort into making one of the best toboggans, one that will impress the judges, competitors, and industry sponsors.

Why Do We Do This?

We believe it is important for engineering students to transfer the technical and theoretical skills obtained in the classroom to a real life experience. We can’t think of a better hands on experience than the GNCTR!

How Can You Help?

Donations from people like you is what makes it possible for our team to succeed. With your support we can compete with other reputable universities and technology schools and score in the top rankings! Our total budget is roughly $45,000. While we are working on obtaining sponsorship, we need your help! Our goal is to raise $12,000 through your support. Your money will go towards components, fabrication, and getting our team to Waterloo and showing the rest of North America how great SAIT is!
