E.C.I's traditional rivals are Richview Collegiate Institute, located about 2 kilometres north, and Martingrove Collegiate Institute. All three schools compete vigorously in football, and share a somewhat similar socioeconomic demographic. The school building has been a shooting location for a few films and commercials, including "Mean Girls in 2003".

The Etobicoke Collegiate Institute extracurricular activity list is vast stretching from most sports to Model U.N., Reach for the Top and the Robotics Team (2185). Competing in the FIRST robotics competition (FRC), 2007 results include a 23rd place finish out of 63 teams in GTA championships. 2008 results include a 64th place finish out of 66 teams in GTA championships. 2009, the team hopes to recruit a project manager that would turn the team around.
