Rugby in the Square Rescheduled for July 5th
May 31st, 2019
(WHITBY,ON) - Rugby Ontario and Toronto Inner-City Rugby Foundation are looking forward to putting on a great day of rugby in Nathan Phillips Square. Due to the recent success of the Toronto Raptors, the City of Toronto and Maple Leaf Sport & Entertainment are planning various events surrounding the NBA Finals.
With that, the City of Toronto has provided the Rugby in the Square Organizing Group with the following scenario. The date of Rugby in the Square 2019 will be dependent on the 2019 NBA Finals. In the event that the series is extended to Games 5, 6 or 7, Rugby in the Square would be bumped from Nathan Phillips Square to account for various NBA Finals festivities.
We here at Rugby Ontario and the Toronto Inner-City Rugby Foundation wish to support the Toronto Raptors as they strive to achieve what has never been done before. Therefore, the Rugby In The Square Organizing Group has decided to reschedule Rugby in the Square 2019 for Friday, July 5th in Nathan Phillips Square.
We hope to see you in the Square on July 5th and we wish the Toronto Raptors all the best on the road to history.
Let’s Go Raptors!
