The Burlington Rugby Football Club has been selected as one of 11 clubs across the country that will receive funding through the HSBC Bank Community Rugby Fund.
The clubs were selected based on their plans to increase rugby registration, create new or develop existing programs to introduce women to the sport and to offer programs to develop coaches and or match officials.
“The 11 recipients this year all clearly showed their own unique and specific strategies on how they will push community and grassroots rugby forward in Canada,” said Ryan Jones, Rugby Development Manager for Rugby Canada.
The Burlington club will use the funding for new youth programs and developing inclusion, diversity, equity and accessibility.
