The Edmonton Rugby Union is thrilled to announce the 2024 ERU Rugby Summit.  The goal of this event is to determine a prioritized list of issues and suggestions that may be formulated into a three-five-year ERU plan for distribution and agreement from the clubs and final approval by the board.

Potential topics for discussion include, but are not limited to:

1. Club health and growth throughout northern Alberta (3 prioritized needs for club to grow).
2. Junior development and growth throughout northern Alberta.
3. Increasing transition rates from high school to junior and junior to senior rugby.
4. Maintenance and preservation of rugby traditions.
5. Marketing of both the game of rugby and the ERU.
6. Edmonton Gold representative programs.
7. Referee recruitment and retention.

As we strive for excellence and are growth/future-oriented, the ERU Board of Directors wants to ensure this planning session includes diverse representatives from within our union with this shared vision.  Therefore, we ask that this invitation be extended to any inspired person(s) that would contribute by attending. Our goal is to have at least 1-3 representatives per club, and optimistically hope we have more who wish to attend.  

All requests for financial support must be emailed to the ERU Secretary by 25 January 2024
