Capilano Rugby Football Club Alumni Association

Sept.1, 2025

Alumni Greetings to all members, friends and families of players..........

The 2025 Fall rugby season has almost begun and we look forward to another exciting year of Capilano Rugby through your support of the Capilano Alumni Association. Our definition of “Alumni” is quite broad; all supporters are welcome. The benefits are rewarding and you know that your yearly fee is being used to promote the game among our young players here at home.

The main source of our funding is the membership dues of which 50% goes to the Club Executive to cover club privileges and grandstand admission and the remaining 50% goes toward Alumni projects. Our main thrust again will be to help facilitate player development such as providing extra assistance to our home-grown players who are working towards provincial and national representation; contributing to the Player Recognition Fund to help support junior and senior men and women provincial and national representative selections; any specific player-funding requests that emerge each season, the administration of the Jimmy Morris/Ozzie Gjerdalen Scholarship, and the resumption of the Stormy Exchange Program

The spring schedules for both men and women are available on the BCRU website https://bcrugby.com/fixtures/

A full slate of home games is scheduled for Saturday, Sept.13 at Klahanie Park. We hope to see a good turnout of club supporters for our Fall season home openers. Current scheduling is also available at https://capilanorfc.com/score
