Re: best place for rugby in canada
Hello rugby people
Rugby is available all over Canada. I coach in Calgary where the city and provincial competitions take place between May and September. This is the case for most of Canada due to the weather. BC have a winter season and by far the best club competion. The superleague mentioned above is at best a representation of rugby outside BC.
Rugby here is very much the same as rugby in the UK outside the professional game, with great social facilities and access to awesome networking opportunities. I know this may not be applicable to a junior player but it will guarantee an instant circle of friends (some in whom will be invariably of Welsh descent!)
Good luck with finding a club, tournaments like the Banff 10s and Jasper 7s are a privilege to attend.

Coronation Street is on in Canada (Mike Baldwin just died recently). Emmerdale used to be but I'm not sure if it still is or not. Sorry.

You're cool mate it was me
Kell's son is a big Leigh Centurians, fan so I was kinda hoping there was some kind of League network around TO. Not to worry, within a few months he'll be playing Baseball and Football (real football) and forget about the great game that is Rugby League
See ya soon mate!!
