Canstruction^® is a not for profit event that began in 1992 in New York as a friendly competition between architects, engineers, designers, contractors and the community in general to design and build amazing sculptures out of cans of food. These colossal structures are judged for various awards such as Best Original Design, Best Use of Labels, Best Meal and Structural Ingenuity. At the conclusion of the event all food items are donated to local food banks.

Our Mission:
To feed and inspire the world – one can at a time!

In 2023 Canstruction^® events around the world raised 1,231,559 pounds of food and $160,539.

Canadian Progress Club Children’s Charitable Society

The Canadian Progress Club is a Canada-wide service club, where clubs host various events throughout the year to raise money for those in need. The Edmonton area clubs focus on giving all children the same opportunities and many clubs have a history of fundraising going back 50 years.

In 2001, local Progress Clubs started the Children’s Charitable Society to provide food, clothing and other essentials to children in need. It is through the Canadian Progress Club Children’s Charitable Society (CPCCCS) that the Canstruction^® event is organized. 2025 is our 15^th year, having raised 244,364 pounds of food to date for local food banks.

Optical Illusion – many structures contain text, images or logos using different colored labels. We challenge you to view these through the lens of a camera and experience these images come to life!

You can view all of this years and previous years structures on the Canstruction Edmonton website. We encourage you to visit the site and VOTE for the People’s Choice!
