Rugby Ontario hosts the Rugby in the Square tournament to engage in the spirit of competitiveness and camaraderie. Rugby in the Square is a co-ed non-contact flag rugby tournament with industry focused brackets. Each team of up to 10 players is guaranteed a minimum of 3 games. Team can participate in activations around Nathan Phillips Square from the Toronto inter-city foundation. The event will load in on May 29, 2025, from 9:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. Event timings: - May 30 from 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. If the exemption is approved by the Council, the issuance of permit and exemption for the event in this motion will be conditional on the submission of the Noise Exemption Permit. This action will comply with all other related City polices, procedure and criteria and will follow regular business practice. The reason for urgency is because this annual event that brings together people from across the city is on May 30th, 2025 and the noise exemption is required in order to ensure that the event proceeds well.
