If you’re a Lakehead University Civil Engineering student looking for a way to take your studies beyond the classroom, the Concrete Canoe Team is the perfect opportunity. As part of the Amethyst Armada, you’ll work alongside other passionate students to design, build, and race a canoe made entirely of concrete, gaining valuable hands-on experience that goes far beyond textbooks and lectures. Joining the team means learning new skills, collaborating on a unique national project, and representing Lakehead University at the Canadian National Concrete Canoe Competition. No matter your background or experience level, there’s a place for you to contribute — whether it’s in design, construction, fundraising, or paddling on race day. This is your chance to get involved, challenge yourself, and be part of something unforgettable.
