TORONTOSept. 3, 2024 /CNW/ – Raymond James Ltd., the Canadian arm of North American investment dealer Raymond James Financial Inc., is pleased to announce the agreement with Rugby Canada to become an official partner, focused on the women’s competitive program, including being the presenting sponsor of Canada’s U20 Women’s Rugby Team.

Raymond James is excited to become a lead supporter of Rugby Canada women’s programming and cheer on the women’s national team and its pathway development programs, as they build toward the next Rugby World Cup.

A key aspect of this sponsorship will be the support of talent development and future training environments that support players’ goals in sports and education. Raymond James believes these athletes and scholars help make up our country’s future talent. With some choosing careers in finance, we also look forward to this partnership inspiring our next generation of female financial advisors.

“Rugby Canada’s U20 Women’s Team won the Transatlantic Quad Series and recently Canada’s Women’s Sevens Team won a historic silver medal, the best-ever Olympic performance for Canada in rugby sevens. Rugby is gaining immense popularity in Canada and our association with the sport has never been more exciting,” said Jamie Coulter, CEO, Raymond James Ltd. “We believe this sponsorship will provide an excellent opportunity for us to win alongside these champions and support future generations of players.”
