A referee is seen during the Team Canada vs. Team USA international rugby test match at the Wanderers Grounds in Halifax on June 23, 2018.Rugby Canada reported a deficit of $41,336 for the year ending Dec 31, 2019, down from $178,610 the previous year.
Both sevens teams are awaiting word on what lies ahead. The 2019-20 season was cut short and World Rugby has already cancelled the combined men’s and women’s stops in Dubai and Cape Town, provisionally scheduled for Nov. 26-28 and Dec. 4-6, respectively. “All of this is out of our hands at the moment,” he said. “It’s governed by the quagmire of international borders, the free flow of COVID, restrictions domestically. So I can’t give you a clear answer on any of that because we just don’t have a clear path of what our activities would be, which would drive a lot of our spending.Staff salaries, benefits and commissions totalled $1.2 million in 2019, down from $2.4 million in 2018.
“And our women need games if they want to have a run in 2021 in New Zealand. These are the real rugby concerns outside of the revenue but they’re driven and influenced by revenue too.”
