TIRF’s Summer season kicked off with a Bang in May, which led to our “Summer Dream Team” working with over 10,000 students across the city in either school or TDESAA Flag Rugby Tournaments held at TDSB schools across the city. TIRF’s success in and out of school programming has led to an increased number of participants in our annual house leagues being held this year at Driftwood Public School and Cornell Junior Public School, which has ultimately led to TIRF being able to field two independent teams at Toronto City’s Father’s Day Festival on June 15th. An achievement that we look to build on as we look forward to hosting our own Mini’s Festival at York University on July 27th.
Finally, TIRF’s Summer Dream Team also successfully helped facilitate the 2025 edition of Rugby in the Square. Congratulations to the tournament winners, EQ Bank. With over 28 teams participating, the dream team worked with a dedicated team of volunteers, assuming different roles than in previous years to ensure the event ran smoothly and was enjoyed by all participants and spectators in attendance.
