About the Nanaimo Hornets Rugby club
Who we are
 Nanaimo Hornets were originally formed under the name of Nanaimo Rovers in the year 1888, one of 3 Vancouver Island teams in that year. The name was changed later that century. Up until the mid 1970's, the Hornets have moved their home pitch to numerous venues finally building our own Hornets' Nest at May Bennett Park. The club built a 3500 square foot log building that houses a main hall, licensed bar, kitchen, change rooms etc. The building is situated overlooking the international size rugby pitch that was a labour of love for our members. We are fortunate to have a great working relationship with the City of Nanaimo with respect to the maintenance and usage of the field (the Hornets cleared and built the field shortly after the clubhouse was finished).
The Nanaimo Hornets field 2 Men's teams, 1 women's team, a Masters level team (the Yoos Too Bees) and a flourishing Jr. and Minis program.
MISSION STATEMENT
At the Nanaimo Hornets RFC, our players, members, and families are dedicated to creating, promoting, and encouraging an active interest in rugby in the Nanaimo area. To be a Hornet means we strive to help our members reach their full potential both on and off the field at all levels. We promote a healthy and safe atmosphere while teaching the values and traditions of rugby, as well as supporting our community at every opportunity. Our goal is to live as we play; with passion, pride, honour, and integrity.
