The 2004 Cedarview Middle School flag football team won the Reebok NFL/CFL Flag Football national championship tournament at the 92nd Grey Cup in Regina, Saskatchewan. They went on to win the bronze medal at the 2004 NFL Reebok Flag Football World Championship.[3][4][5]
Students participating in the Annual Cedarview Middle School Walkathon have raised over over $96,000 toward help for adults with multiple disabilities. Grade 8 teacher Barbara Troutman was awarded the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board's 2007 Community Award for her role in organising the event to raise funds and awareness within the school and community.[6][7][8]
During the 2005-2006 school year, Cedarview organized a world record attempt. On June 6th, 2006 the record was attempted by the entire staff and students, and the attempt was successful, beating the previous record by a mere 6 people. The record was featured in the Canadian edition of the Guinness Book of World Records 2008, in the upper right corner of page 7.
