The UBC Concrete Toboggan Team returned with a strong showing at the 2015 Great Northern Concrete Toboggan Race (GNCTR) hosted by UBC Okanagan’s School of Engineering. Despite an almost catastrophic sled failure, the team placed seventh among 17 competitors in the speed event. The team of 30 students from civil, geological, materials, and electrical engineering travelled to GNCTR with their concrete and timber composite ski-style toboggan weighing 279 pounds of more than 70 per cent post-consumer recycled materials.
