Still hurting from losing such a positive force in our world. John Horgan was a truly good guy who did so much for the province and many citizen groups like those who loved sport and it’s impact! @CanadaSevens @RugbyCanada @bcplace @SportHostingVan @victoriavisitor
I'm incredibly grateful for the leadership of John Horgan and his passion for sport to connect with community. This week as we prepare to host the Grey Cup, it's John's legacy that gave the nod, so I'll proudly wear my orange and cheers to an amazing team BC champion 🧡Thankyou🕊️

"With rugby and as it moves here to the US, I think you'll see more and more brands start to get involved in it." - Lou Kovacs, President, Marketing at @Octagon As the sport gains traction, expect more global brands to get involved, enhancing its presence and experience for American audiences 🏉 #SBJBIS

So happy for Jos who has been committed to @RugbyCanada for most of her life. Doing whatever it takes to make a difference. The latest example being a nearly 5000km move away from her community in Quebec to Langford to support @jackhanratty and our @CanadaSevens Team! Merci!
