The initiative of Mike Holmes who was also the architect of the LOne Oak Legends Rugby Club based on Horny Island, the fund was established to help provide youth rugby experiences and support the growth of junior rugby on Hornby Island by funding new rugby programs and activities from its endowment, and is consistent with the broad objectives and purposes of the Lone Oak Legends Rugby Club, Rugby Canada, and the Canadian Rugby Foundation, to develop and grow rugby across Canada while meeting all CRA requirements.<\/p>\n<p>The Lone Oak Legends Club was dreamt up by Mike &amp; Harry Holmes, was brought to life by Clay Panga and Wildy Holmes as the ultimate COVID-19 rugby project. The goal was to build a small rugby field and a timber frame clubhouse on beautiful Hornby Island. The field will be used to promote rugby in partnership with BC Grassroots Rugby, and to offer rugby opportunities to young children of all backgrounds. Numerous well-known figures in BC and the Islands rugby community put in their sweat equity to make the new field and clubhouse a reality.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE SITE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img
