In November 2009 the Senior Football team defeated Smith Falls 12-0 to win the EOSSAA championship, while doing so they became the first BCI squad to advance to the National Capital Bowl, held at Trent University in Peterborough. The Rams faced Adam Scott of Peterborough and were defeated, yet this marked a milestone for BCI Football and athletics in general.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“Both gossip and joking are intrinsically valuable activities. Both are essentially social activities that strengthen interpersonal bonds—we do not tell jokes and gossip to ourselves. As popular activities that evade social restrictions, they often refer to topics that are inaccessible to serious public discussion. Gossip and joking often appear together: when we gossip we usually tell jokes and when we are joking we often gossip as well.”
—Aaron Ben-Ze’Ev, Israeli philosopher. “The Vindication of Gossip,” Good Gossip, University Press of Kansas (1994)
