We’re excited to announce the upcoming Greater Toronto Programming Contest (GTPC), a collaborative event hosted by William Lyon Mackenzie Collegiate Institute and St. Robert Catholic High School!

This year, the contest will bring together 18 talented teams from across the region, representing:

• St. Robert Catholic High School
• A.Y. Jackson Secondary School
• Albert Campbell Collegiate Institute
• William Lyon Mackenzie Collegiate Institute
• St. Elizabeth Catholic High School
• Triway Education

Participants will compete in two rounds of competition, team and individual. The GTPC is a great opportunity for students to connect with peers, sharpen their programming abilities, and experience the excitement of competitive coding.

We look forward meeting all of you, and best of luck to all teams!

Thank you for everyone that competed in the Mock CCC 2026 💻!

MCPT is William Lyon Mackenzie C.I.'s computer science council, where we host weekly lessons for both competitive programming and general computer science topics. Additionally, we host monthly team-based competitions, dubbed the LCC, Lyon's Computing Competition, modelled after the CCC.

We are EXCITED to be hosting a city-wide team-based mock Canadian Computer Competition on February 12, 2026! This will give students a chance to practice their computer programming skills and prepare for the actual CCC. Prior to COVID, MCPT hosted annual in-person competitions, and we're pleased to announce that this will be our first in-person competition since 2019!
