* Mentorship Program - NEW *

Informal..., Flexible..., Rewarding!
Mentors don't have to be "Expert" players.
Mentees can include long time players who want to get more involved.
Mentors and Mentees can meet by phone, online or in-person as they see fit.
 

This program is meant as a way to share information and develop Bridge relationships.  We will be working on matching people up...

Program Coordinators: Shelley Burns & Avril Karr
2 Locations: Burnaby Rugby Club - 3760 Sperling Ave, and Gloria Dei in North Van
