Out & About with co-elevate
We are thrilled to share our recent engagement with the University of Waterloo Concrete Toboggan team, marking an exciting extension of our support with the opening of our Kitchener office. Collaborating on projects that encourage students to apply their knowledge creatively is essential for fostering a robust engineering community.
The 40th edition of the Great Northern Concrete Toboggan Race, held in St. John’s, NL from February 7th to 11th, showcased the team's exceptional efforts. With seventeen team members in attendance, Waterloo secured an impressive 9th place overall, earning accolades in various categories:
1st Place in Sustainability
2nd Place in Scheduling
3rd Place in Ski Geometry
4th Place in Overall Concrete Design
4th Place in Technical Report
5th Place in Frame
We are proud to have been part of this successful event, contributing to the growth and development of these talented students.
Additionally, our involvement extended to a collaborative networking and industry event with the Civil & Environmental Engineering department on Tuesday, February 27th. Hosted by the UW Concrete Toboggan team, along with the University of Waterloo OBEC Student Chapter, Institute of Transportation Engineers, and the Steel Bridge Design Team, this event provided a valuable opportunity to connect with both undergraduate and graduate students eager to explore diverse fields and professions.
Representing our team at this event were two distinguished U of Waterloo graduates. Andrew Fisher, a Partner at co-elevate and former Waterloo Concrete Toboggan captain, leads our Kitchener office and is enthusiastic about extending co-elevate’s commitment to the Kitchener Waterloo area. Jill Martin, a recent graduate of the Architectural Engineering program, attended as an employer, excited to share her experiences with current students.
We look forward to more opportunities to be part of these enriching experiences, supporting education, and connecting with the next generation of professionals.
