Update on Return to Play for 2020

Monday, August 31st, 2020

The Executive of the Lindsay Rugby Football Club (LRFC) has made the difficult decision to cancel all rugby related activities in 2020.

Return to Play 2020 - LRFCOn July 17th, 2020 Rugby Ontario announced the launch of its Return to Play Plan, presenting a set of protocols and resources to manage the safe restart of rugby in Ontario. The LRFC executive reviewed these protocols, along with guidance from Rugby Canada, Health Canada, local health authorities and other sports organizations.

The primary consideration of the LRFC is the safety of our members. We want to facilitate safe rugby programming in accordance with government and public health regulations and legislation giving consideration to risk management for the club, the safety and well-being of all rugby participants and reducing the risk of COVID-19 transmission.

We gave consideration to all of the issues surrounding a return to play this year, including, the cost of participating in a limited rugby season that is not likely to involve full rugby activities, the cost to the club, in both money and volunteer time to adhere to the protocols, as well as the potential risk related to liability, because the Rugby Canada insurance policy and our club general liability insurance would not cover any risk related to COVID19. Based upon all of the potential issues surrounding a return to play, the LRFC executive decided that the LRFC will not return to any rugby related activities in 2020.

2020 has been difficult for us all. Every aspect of our lives has been impacted. Amateur sports organizations all over Ontario are feeling the impact of COVID19. We hope that 2021 brings a return to some sort of normalcy and that the LRFC can return with a full offering of rugby for all ages.

Thank you for your patience. Hope to see you in 2021.

Sincerely

LRFC Executive

“The culture. LRFC creates a culture like no other. It feels like home to such a variety of people and really brings them all together. Some of our biggest and longest standing supporters have never even played rugby, but they show up and volunteer their time by sponsoring, coaching, bartending etc. I feel fortunate to be part of such an amazing community of awesome and generous people.

Meet the Executive – Kevin McReelis

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2020

Name: Kevin McReelis
Position: Director of Game

Kevin began playing with the Lindsay Rugby Club in 1988 as a junior player and eventually moved his way through the ranks to the Men’s 1st Team. He retired from playing in 2005, but has since come back to play with the “Old Boys” team. Kevin hopes to one day share the field with his son. Over the years he has been an active member of the rugby community, serving as VP of game and being part of the committee that helped with the purchase of our current club facilities. As his son remains an active player, who Kevin enjoys watching develop in our club colours, Kevin decided to re-involve himself on the LRFC board. He feels the club has given him and the community so much, and he wanted to give back.

Kevin says “Lindsay RFC has been a big part of my life for a long time. I have met a lot of people and have made a lot of life long friends because of rugby. Lindsay is a club that accepts everyone and really knows how to make people feel welcome. Most importantly they know how to win and how to have fun doing it.”Kevin McReelis
