On 20 February 2016 MSSA held its 6th Annual Online Schools Championships.
The championships involved schools from seven provinces, and many of the top private and public schools were represented.
Every year more-and more schools affiliate to MSSA, and many predict that within the next five years, the school online league shall involve more schools than any other sport.
