INTRODUCTION A Message from the Chairma Pat Aldous O behalf of the Board of Directors of Rugby Caada, I am pleased to preset the 2012 Rugby Caada Aual Report. The past year saw may chages i Rugby Caada s way of doig busiess. The fudraisig ad commercial departmets were completely restructured. The rugby departmet is ow fully established with a world-class maagemet team. Rugby Caada is well positioed to take the orgaizatio to the ext level. Our teams performaces overall met the o excuses stadard established i 2011. Our Natioal Seior Me s Team wo the games that they eeded to wi, with victories over the USA ad Georgia i Jue ad a solid victory over Russia i November. Although a loss, the Team s performace agaist the Maori All Blacks was outstadig ad etertaiig rugby. Losses to Italy i Jue ad Samoa i November completed the year s test matches. The staff of Rugby Caada ad the commuities of Lagford ad Victoria came together to ru a extremely successful Americas Rugby Champioship. Caada s secod place fiish to Argetia was a solid performace by players selected from the CRC competitio, with several of them beig subsequetly amed to the Natioal side to the November tests. O the seves frot, our me ad wome both wo their divisios of the NACRA World Cup Qualifier touramet held i Ottawa i August. Agai the Rugby Caada staff ad a group of great voluteers ra a outstadig touramet. Earlier i the year the me wo the qualifyig touramet i Hog Kog to become a core coutry for the IRB Seves World Series. Our wome cotiued to show they were oe of the world s best with touramet wis i Las Vegas ad Amsterdam. Losses to touramet wiers Eglad i Hog Kog ad Lodo were hard fought, with the Lodo ecouter beig settled i overtime. I would like to thak all the staff of Rugby Caada for their cotributios i the past year. Without these committed people, Rugby Caada fails. Equally, we must thak the may voluteers throughout the rugby commuity that are essetial to the game. Without the voluteers, othig is possible. The pursuit of a commuity that acts As Oe must cotiue. Oly through workig together will we maximize the success, at all levels. Grassroots to atioal heroes beefit from a cohesive rugby commuity. To my fellow voluteer Board Members, your services have bee excellet. Every Member of the Board has doe everythig that has bee asked of them. I thak you all ad look forward to welcomig the ew Board Members that will be cofirmed at the Fiscal 2012 Aual Geeral Meetig. Go Caada Go!!! Pat Aldous, Chairma Rugby Caada A Message from the Chief Executive Officer Graham Brow 2012 marked oe of the most successful years ever by both our athletes ad the Natioal Uio. O the field, tremedous effort has bee put forth by the staff ad board of Rugby Caada o developig a world class rugby departmet. The ivestmet by the City of Lagford, the Iteratioal Rugby Board ad the Govermet of Caada through both Sport Caada ad Ow the Podium alog with the support of our members have helped positio Caada as oe of the top rugby atios i the world. Our rugby departmet ow boosts world class coaches, maagers ad high performace staff. Our rugby departmet has also bee fortuate to attract world class leadership i Mike Chu ad Steve Lacaster. All of our focus must ow be placed o our athletes ad esurig every opportuity for success is maximized. Rugby Caada will ot be able to sit idle. Our rugby departmet will cotiue to require ew ad iovative equipmet ad facilities. Additioal athlete support services will be required as our programs cotiue to develop ad more demads are placed o our athlete s time ad service to the Natioal Uio. Ehaced provicial, regioal ad atioal high performace itegratio must be developed. Commuity rugby must cotiue to be supported ad further ehaced. The growth of the game domestically will be a sigificat metric whe evaluatig the overall success of Caadia Rugby post 2016. Remaiig competitive o the world stage will require both commuity ad coutry to cotiue to work together to grow, develop ad trai for the game. From a busiess perspective at the Natioal level, Rugby i Caada has become oe of the top 10 sports i Caada i total reveue ad expese. This brigs forward eormous challeges fiacially for the Uio. Total turover i 2002 by Rugby Caada was approximately 2.5 millio. Te years later aual turover is expected to top 10.5 millio dollars. No dues / o grat reveue (reveue other tha registratio / isurace ad those moies allocated from our fudig parters the IRB ad Sport Caada) represeted approximately 90% of the Uios icome i 2002. That umber has decreased to 65% i 2013. This is still ot good eough. Rugby Caada must cotiue to drive o dues / o grat reveue geeratio ad develop ew ad iovative reveue streams. The Board recogize the importace of our membership ad that registratio dollars are ot ifiite. However, as with ay busiess there are times whe capital ivestmet is required to help move the busiess forward ad further improve fiacial capacity. Rugby i Caada is o loger a secod or third tier sport. The game is ow played i schools ad commuities across Caada ad registratios cotiue to icrease. Natioal Televisio etworks are ow iterested i developig the sport ad with Olympic iclusio begiig i 2016, the sky really is the limit. Where this sport is withi the atioal sport structure i 2020 will be directly related to the decisios this sport makes over the ext 2-3 years. Our fudig parters, our Foudatio ad busiess parters are all showig their desire to see our athletes succeed ad Caada wi. Growig this game will require ew reveues ad a much more professioal approach to the promotio ad presetatio of the sport atioally. A pla is i place ad I am very cofidet that Caadia rugby will be able to maximize the may opportuities that exist both o ad off the rugby pitch. My hope is that together we ca all cotiue to make rugby i Caada a tier 1 sport. We wat to be world beaters ad commuity leaders. This is our shared jourey for the game as we work AS ONE.
