From Britain to Barbados to the Toronto International Film Festival. 🇬🇧🇨🇦🎬

We welcomed TIFF CEO Cameron Bailey for a fascinating fireside chat about Black cultural identity, representation and storytelling’s ability to shift perspectives and help us see the world through new eyes.

From Twickenham to TD Place! 🇨🇦🏉🇬🇧

After stops in Exeter and Toronto (in front a North American record crowd of 18,621!) the Rugby Rematch tour concluded in Ottawa with a hard-fought win by Canada over the reigning world champion .

Making the day even more special? Before kick-off, the Canadian Forces and British Army Women’s Rugby teams made history in their first-ever meeting.

The 2025 Women’s Rugby World Cup in England broke multiple records for women’s rugby, tripling both attendance and viewership, and yielding an estimated economic impact of £294.7 million for UK host cities.

One year on from England’s thrilling win over Canada in last year’s World Cup final, this tour proved the incredible momentum behind women’s rugby is only picking up speed.

After all, is for everyone.

After competing at the World’s Strongest Man and Woman competition in Newfoundland, UK Armed Forces athletes were welcomed by members of The Royal Newfoundland Regiment for a programme of cultural and commemorative activities, building on the strong links between our armed forces.

They paid tribute to the fallen at the Newfoundland National War Memorial, explored some of the province’s most iconic sites, and spent time getting to know their Canadian counterparts.

With seven medals, two world champions, and lasting friendships forged along the way, the visit is an example of the enduring ties between Canada and the UK. 🇨🇦🇬🇧
