The Burnaby Lake Rugby Club is committed to ensuring that its players and coaches follow safe rugby principles in their participation in rugby. These principles focus on injury prevention, through physical preparation of players, instruction in safe rugby techniques and mitigation of risks. The principles also address injury management, providing guidelines for appropriate action in the acute, rehabilitation and return-to-play phases of injury management. Our coaches receive training on these principles, and integrate the principles into their instructions to players. Those interested in learning more may read the BC Rugby Union's Safe Rugby Manual

The Burnaby Lake Rugby Club also follows the Rugby Canada Policy on Prevention of Abuse. This policy aims to protect participants from all forms of abuse and neglect, whether emotional, physical or sexual. BLRC expects every parent, volunteer and staff member to understand the policy, and to take all reasonable steps to safeguard the welfare of its participants and protect them from any form of maltreatment.
