Each year, the Cardboard Boat Races provide the opportunity for Ontario students to test their math and technology skills in a fun and competitive environment.  Teams of four arrive at this popular, full-day event with a drawing of their cardboard boat design.  Skills Canada – Ontario provides the supplies to construct a cardboard boat during the two hours, on-site, construction time.  In the afternoon, the competitors put their design to the test in the swimming pool in both a race and weight challenge.  
Races are offered at two levels: Senior Elementary and Secondary

Affiliated schools are welcome to come compete at any of the following locations:
