Calling all junior engineers! Do you have what it takes to build a boat?

Here’s a fun activity for the family to enjoy next weekend.

If you’ve got a young engineer in training, test their skills out and participate in this event hosted by the County of Brant. Everyone is invited to build their best cardboard boat, designed to withstand the length of the Paris Community Pool!

On Saturday, August 17th from 5 pm to 6 pm bring that cardboard boat design to the Paris Community Pool to test out its durability. Entrants can also make a cardboard paddle along too. The only rule is you must use cardboard and duct tape only when building your ship!

This cardboard boat race is open to all ages Only two people per boat and you must follow admission criteria for adult to child ratio All participants are required to wear lifejackets The boats will be placed in the deep end to start. Both participants will enter the boat and then float for 30 seconds before attempting to paddle across the pool to the shallow end.
