2021 Season – Return to Play

Hi Everyone! As Pirates continues to navigate Covid-19 and a 2021 season, we have filed our Return to Play program with Rugby Alberta. At this time, we are planning to run whatever type, length, and age divisions of rugby offered to us by Rugby Canada, Rugby Alberta, and under AHS allowances. At this time, under Phase 1, all sports activities are still on hold. We will continue to update everyone as Return to Play progresses. Make sure to check out our Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter feeds for club updates, upcoming fundraisers and fun content. Pirates misses our community and club and we can’t wait to get back in action. Thanks.
