For the first time since 2019, the Engineering Student Society of Lakehead University will hold its Car Smash from 10 am to 2 pm on Friday, Oct. 20, which serves as a healthy way for students to de-stress and build community during midterms.

Upon arrival to the service roadway near the CASES building, participants will receive personal protective equipment and a sledgehammer. Then, they are allowed to beat up a car that the Engineering Student Society found in the scrapyard.

Any profits from this year’s Car Smash will be re-invested in enrichment events and initiatives for students, such as the Lakehead Engineering Competition, National Engineering Month initiatives, and degree project funding.

Anyone can participate. It’s free for Engineering students, and for everyone else it’s $3 for one minute or $5 for two minutes.
