Major Partnership Announcement-Penalta

Crusaders Rugby is proud to recognize our Major Sponsor, Penalta!

Collectively, their core values have always been honesty, hard-work and passion. We are so appreciative of such an aligned partnership

With the support of Penalta, we are able to provide all of our Seniors teams as well as one of our juniors the opportunity for new training shirts each year as well as playing kit replacements.

Not only is Penalta a partner in all things construction, they are committed partners of our rugby community in Oakville. Penalta is invested in supporting our community through many different initiatives, and for that we thank them.

Cru Receives Ontario Trillium Foundation Funding

The Crusaders Rugby Club is pleased to announce that we have received a $99,300 funding grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF). The OTF, an agency of the Government of Ontario, established the Resilient Communities Fund which supports organizations to adapt and recover from the challenging impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Funding will secure extensive COVID sanitation supplies and equipment, new training equipment to enable the club to continue to deliver COVID-safe programming, help to develop the club’s resilience through more diverse funding streams, and support the broadening of our programming to meet the needs of our growing, diverse and co-ed membership community.

“I want to congratulate the Oakville Crusaders Rugby Club on receiving this important OTF funding to help them deal with the impacts of COVID-19. The Club is recognized across Canada and has hosted professional and international teams right here in Oakville. Sport is important to our physical and mental well-being, and the Crusaders continue to play a fundamental role in our community now, and following this pandemic. I am excited to congratulate them on their success”, said Oakville MPP Stephen Crawford.

“We are thrilled to have received this grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation. Sport plays a positive role in our physical and mental health – this targeted funding will help us further develop our comprehensive range of programming for persons of all ages and abilities, and make a positive difference in the lives of individuals and families”, said Pat Daniels, President of the Crusaders Rugby Club.

The club would like to most sincerely thank MPP Crawford and the Ontario Trillium Foundation for their support of our club and our community in these difficult times.

Cru Awarded JumpStart Sport Relief Fund

In February, Canadian Tire Corporation announced an additional $12 million commitment to Jumpstart’s Sport Relief Fund to help sport and recreation organizations build back sport and play in Canada.

Jumpstart conducted a State of Sport study via Ipsos which revealed the pandemic has not only impacted current access to sport and play but has real long-term effects as well. Crusaders Rugby and the communities it serves have experienced the impact of the pandemic first-hand.

We recently received confirmation that we are amongst nearly 300 sport and recreation organizations nationally to be provided with grant support through Jumpstart’s Sport Relief Fund. We are beyond grateful to receive this news and know the positive impact it will have on sport and recreation organizations, and ultimately, on kids across the country.

With Jumpstart’s support, we’ll be able to hire staff to re-imagine our programming to the Covid restrictions, grow our fundraising and sponsorship, purchase much needed equipment, and ensure our facility is safe and meets Covid cleaning and signage requirements for the coming season.
