The return of Age-Grade Club Finals kickstarts what we hope will be an action-packed 12 months of junior Rugby, with several key dates for 2022 confirmed – make sure you mark them down in your calendar!

2022 Provincial Regional Championships

The 2022 Provincial Regional Championships will take place July 1-3 at UBC across Canada Day long weekend.

The famous BC Rugby weekend makes its return for the first time since 2019, with the best youth Rugby players in BC suiting up for their respective regional XVs teams.

For emerging Rugby players, this tournament presents a perfect opportunity to impress any watching BC Rugby Age-Grade Team Coaches and make a bid for selection to the BC Bears!

2022 BC Summer Games

The 2022 BC Summer Games will be held in Prince George on July 21-24. The planned 2020 BC Summer Games was cancelled due to the global COVID-19 Pandemic.

The BC Summer Games are British Columbia’s biennial celebration of sport and community. It brings together British Columbia’s best emerging high-performance athletes, trained coaches, and certified officials for four days of competition. This experience is an important development opportunity and steppingstone towards higher level sports competitions.

2022 Canada Summer Games

The 2022 Canada Summer Games will take place in Niagara, Ontario between August 6 and 22.

The Canada Games are held every two years, alternating between Summer and Winter Games. The Games are the largest multi-sport event in Canada and represent the pinnacle of interprovincial/territorial sport competition.

Rugby is making its return to 2022 Games in Niagara with the inaugural women’s Rugby Sevens competition. Rugby Sevens has exploded in recent years, partly due to the recent success of the Canadian Women’s Sevens team – including their bronze medal win at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.
