"During this Year of Sport in Canada, we are very proud to assist Rugby Canada in hosting the 2015 IRB Women's Sevens World Series for the first time in our country. This event was an amazing opportunity for our rugby athletes to showcase their talent and fine-tune their preparations against a world-class field as they look ahead to this summer's Toronto 2015 Pan Am Games and on to the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. Go Canada Go!"

-The Honourable Bal Gosal, Minister of State (Sport)

"Without Sport Canada's financial support, we wouldn't have been able to win the bid to host Canada Sevens tournaments in Langford and Vancouver. The success our teams had at the Sevens World Cup and on the men's and women's World Rugby Sevens Series is a direct result of the funding we have received from Sport Canada."

-Graham Brown, CEO of Rugby Canada
