LIGHT THE FUTURE OF BC RUGBY: Bayside Make A Call to the Wider Rugby Community
Every rugby player knows the feeling.
Training as daylight fades, squeezing in one last drill before darkness takes over. Those final minutes matter. They are where skills develop, friendships grow and a love of rugby is built.
THE CHALLENGE
In July 2026, the City of Surrey introduced a new field allocation policy, pushing senior practices to after 9 PM. This has left Bayside’s Minis, Juniors, Touch and Senior divisions competing for training space, often on grass fields with very limited lighting.
HELP US LIGHT THE WAY
Bayside Rugby Club is working with the City and generous supporters, including Ashton Engineering, JL Projects and Arc & Spark Electrical, to bring new lights to Field 1.
But we need the wider BC rugby community to help us get across the try line.
This project is about more than lights. It’s about safer training, more opportunities for players, better facilities for our juniors and a stronger future for grassroots rugby.
You don’t have to wear the Sharks jersey to make a difference. Whether you’re a current player, former player, supporter, coach or part of another BC rugby club, every contribution counts.
Rugby in BC is one community. Let’s come together to support the next generation.
You helped build Bayside’s legacy. Now help us light its future.
