Other extracurricular opportunites include a Student Council, a Yearbook Club, the Sound and Lighting Crew, Reach for the Top teams (which have placed as high as fourth provincially), the Rambotics Robotics Club, Math teams, the Envirothon Club, and a Grad Club.
In 2007 the BCI Red Rams Junior Football team became the first BCI team to capture the Eastern Ontario championship by defeating Arnprior. The team was led by captains Brodie Mazurek, Ben Harkness, Coleman Bak, Jesse Greenwell, Cole Jackson, and Chadwick Harvey.
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:
“The most remarkable aspect of the transition we are living through is not so much the passage from want to affluence as the passage from labor to leisure.... Leisure contains the future, it is the new horizon.... The prospect then is one of unremitting labor to bequeath to future generations a chance of founding a society of leisure that will overcome the demands and compulsions of productive labor so that time may be devoted to creative activities or simply to pleasure and happiness.”
—Henri Lefebvre (b. 1901)
