Great Northern Concrete Toboggan Race - Competition Host

Competition Host

In the early years of the competition, the winning team was asked to host the subsequent competition; by the mid 1990s, this had changed to an alternating scheme between Western and Eastern Canadian schools; the dividing line is the Manitoba-Ontario border. The competition usually runs from Wednesday to Sunday, over the first weekend in February.

    “For the shoe pinches, even though it fits perfectly.

    Tomorrow you’ll weep what of it?”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)
