Canadian Economics Olympiad (CEO)& Team Canada

Canadian Economics Olympiad (CEO)

Canadian Economics Olympiad (CEO) is Canada's premier high-school economics competition and official qualifier for the International Economics Olympiad (IEO). CEO is authorized to select Team Canada for participating in the IEO.

Each country is represented by only one team which consists of no more than five contestants and one or two team leaders.
‍
The Prof. of the University of Ottawa, Yuri Khoroshilov, is the chair of CEO and leader of Team Canada. The CEO is an "inclusive" competition. Participation in the competition is free of charge.

Lorvale Academy is the exclusive educational partner of the CEO in Canada and a sponsor of Team Canada at the International Economics Olympiad. As the Team Canada sponsor, Lorvale Academy is committed to cover Team Canada transportation costs for 2023 and 2024 IEO.

From 2020-2022, the members of "Team Canada" were selected solely based on their performance in Economics Competition of CEO. However, starting in 2023, the selection process for the IEO Team Canada will be based on both the results of the Economics Competition organized by CEO and the Canadian Economics and Business Case Competition organized by Lorvale.

The 2023 International Economics Olympiad is expected to be in-person in Suzhou, China, July 24 - August 2 (venue and dates to be confirmed). Join our email list to receive news and updates.

This year Team Canada was selected based on the following criteria: Absolute Winner of CEO, Absolute Winner of CEBCC, 3 more people based on a holistic approach with the most weight given to CEO results and taking into account past IEO performance (if any) and, at a lesser degree, AP exams and Business Case experience. It was a difficult decision since we had several highly qualified students for these 3 spots. Congratulations to the selected Team Canada!
