The extension continues the long-standing relationship between Gilbert Rugby Canada and BC Rugby as we continue our mission to grow and develop the game of Rugby union in British Columbia.

“BC Rugby is delighted to continue its partnership with Gilbert Rugby Canada as we work together to grow and develop Rugby throughout the province. Gilbert Rugby Canada provides us with world-class Rugby equipment, and remains passionate about all levels of Rugby – from international Test Rugby to grassroots,” said BC Rugby Interim CEO John Tait.

"We are really excited to continue our long standing partnership with BC Rugby. At Gilbert Rugby Canada we have been working to support rugby in Canada since 1988, and we know the value of bringing more people of every age and ability into the community of rugby. As the Provincial Sport governing body responsible for the growth of rugby in British Columbia, BC Rugby's commitment to grow the game at every level makes them a natural partner for us," said Gilbert Rugby Canada Managing Partner Leigh Tynan.

Gilbert Rugby Canada has been the official home of Gilbert in Canada for over 30 years. It is a 100%-Canadian owned and operated family business that shares a passion for Rugby on all levels, connecting athletes from junior programs to Club teams to World Cup and IRB Athletes.
