Grit, Gears, and a Medal: ECI's Michael Rende Takes Bronze!

Congratulations to Michael Rende for representing ECI at the Skills Ontario Competition and bringing home the bronze medal! His day included hands-on disassembly and testing of a 4-stroke engine and a 2-stroke marine engine. He completed a written test, performed carburetor diagnostics, electrical system testing, and wrapped up with a brake system tear down of a Yamaha 4x4 ATV. An outstanding performance and a well-earned spot on the podium — we’re incredibly proud of you, Michael! 🥉

Today at ECI our Moderns Department hosted a Métis chef to cook with our French as a Second Language students. 🧑‍🍳✨

During the session, students learned about the historical and cultural significance of Métis cuisine, traditional ingredients, and cooking techniques. Through hands-on experience, they gained a deeper appreciation for Indigenous culture and its connection to food and the land.

Thank you for this unique experience—bon appétit! 🇫🇷 🇨🇦 🔥

ECI Celebrates the International Day of Pink!

📅 Wednesday, April 9, 2025

The International Day of Pink started in 2007 when students in Nova Scotia stood up against homophobic bullying by wearing pink shirts in solidarity. Since then, it’s become a global movement for kindness, inclusion, and equity! 🌍💗

How can YOU take part?
👕 Wear pink! A simple but powerful way to stand against discrimination, gender-based bullying, homophobia, and transphobia.
🎽 Get your custom Day of Pink t-shirt! Designed by our Grade 11 Marketing class, available for $20 cash in Room 113 during lunch starting March 31.
📸 Join the fun! .studentcouncil will be hosting events, including a PINK photo booth and activities outside the auditorium on April 9!

Let’s show our ECI spirit and stand together for a more inclusive and welcoming community. Tag us in your pink fits and spread the love! 💕
