William Lyon Mackenzie Collegiate Institute
William Lyon Mackenzie Collegiate Institute is a semestered secondary school located in Toronto, Ontario.〔(Mackenzie TDSB School Profile 2008 ), (Toronto District School Board ). Retrieved July 14, 2009.〕 It was built in 1960 to accommodate the skyrocketing number of new students in what was then known as North York, and to ease overcrowding at Northview Heights Secondary School.〔The North York Enterprise, June 22, 1960.〕 Originally known as Southview Collegiate, students were tasked with renaming the school after one of eight famous Canadians. Ultimately, William Lyon Mackenzie, the first mayor of Toronto and leader of the Upper Canada Rebellion in 1837, was selected.〔The North York Enterprise, September 23, 1960.〕 It is currently ranked the best public high school in Toronto.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://ontario.compareschoolrankings.org/secondary/SchoolsByRankLocationName.aspx )〕

In 2013, the students with the highest averages in the whole of the TDSB were Mackenzie students Geoffrey Yu and Ryan Gotesman, with averages of 99.7%.
Students often perform well in academic competitions, such as the Leonardo da Vinci competition, International Chemistry Olympiad, and International Olympiad in Informatics. Student achievements also extend beyond academics. Annette Wong, who is consistently one of the top students in her grade, represented Canada at the International Junior Original Concert in Tokyo, Japan in 2004, 2007 and 2010, performing her own composition on the Yamaha Electone in addition to co-performing with other musicians.〔http://www.yamaha-mf.or.jp/history/e-history/ijoc/ijoc36.html〕
The school is also known for the student-run organization, SWITCH (Solar and Wind Initiatives Towards CHange). Founded in 2006, SWITCH's goal is to make Canada more environmentally friendly through various environmental initiatives—the most prominent of which is the installation of solar panels and wind turbines on school grounds. Through this organization, Mackenzie has gained national media attention due to events featuring David Suzuki, Steven Page of the Barenaked Ladies, MuchMusic and members of Sum 41.〔http://www.muchmusic.com/mediaed/guidepage_much.asp?studyID=174.〕 The group was also lauded by 2007 Nobel Peace Prize laureates, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
