Minor Festivals

Most Minor Rugby programs in Ontario are festival based with many clubs hosting their own festival in addition to attending others. Rugby Ontario runs two of our own year-end Minor Festivals and supports two club-run festivals for teams across the province to come together, show off their skills, and celebrate the season.
