Rain, snow or shine, the Canada vs Chile Americas Rugby Championships game is on tonight February 22 at Westhills Stadium.

“We’re encouraging fans to dress warm, arrive early, and cheer loud,” says Rugby Canada media relations rep Bryan Kelly.

Tickets are available online at https://rugby.ca/en/tickets , and then also at the stadium at 3024 Glen Lake Road starting at 6 pm when the gates open. Kickoff at 7 pm (live on TSN 5).

Parking might be a bit overloaded at the stadium this evening (due to some other events happening nearby). Carpooling is recommended.

Parking on a first-come, first-served basis will be available in the Belmont Secondary School parking lot through the Glen Lake Road entrance. The Langford Parkway entrance will be busier than usual.

About 1,000 seats in the stadium will be open for this winter-time game. The field has been cleared of snow by turf professionals.
