2020 Rugby Community Message From Our President As 2020 comes to an end and we look forward to 2021 with hope of a more normal world, I want to update you on Club happenings and where we are at as a Club and Community. FALL/WINTER 2020 UPDATE... I want to thank all of you who registered for our short compressed fall training season. Despite the weather conditions, late start and the restrictions imposed by the Provincial Health Office, BC Rugby, and Rugby Canada, we managed to get out on the field, run some drills and play touch. My deepest thanks to a Coach Andrew for his work getting us COVID Compliant. Thanks to to him and Coach Ged for running practices Tuesday and Thursday and special thanks to Ged for stepping up when Andrew couldn’t attend for a couple weeks due to more restrictions by the PHO. I want to also recognize the dedication of Joe, Taryn and Walter for coming out every week to help set up the fields per the COVID Safe Rugby Plan. We gained a few new players interested in either coming back to or starting a rugby career. A core group of U15 have come out to help build a junior program for the spring. Thanks to Fionna for continuing a Brit Lions tradition of sponsoring a Christmas Family in need this year. Many thanks to all the members and their families who donated almost $1000!!

You may only attend practices if you live in the Fraser Valley Health Authority area. If you work in Richmond or Vancouver, but live in approved areas, you may still come to training.

CLARIFICATION ON NEW COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS Nov 7-23 - E. TRAVEL RELATED TO SPORT 1. No person may travel to or from the affected area or between the regions of the Fraser Health Authority and the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority for any sport related activity, including practice, training, games or tournaments, unless they are an identified by Canadian Sports Institute Pacific as a high performance athlete affiliated with an accredited provincial or na...tional sports organization and are already training in the affected area and subject to the safety guidelines of their provincial sports organization.

The Britannia Lions Rugby Club pause on November 11 to remember our brave veterans who stood fast and defended our freedoms. Who proudly represented Canada as peace keepers and defenders of good. Brave men and women that wore the maple leaf proud as the battled evil and tyranny in foreign lands. We remember our own club members who fought in the two great wars and those who never returned. Please take today, November 11th at 11am, to remember them and appreciate the freedoms we have because of their sacrifice.
