Mission & Vision
What we stand for on and off the field — and the kind of club we are building for Dartmouth.
Dartmouth PigDogs R.F.C. is an inclusive rugby club rooted in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. We welcome players of all backgrounds and experience levels, and we believe rugby should build more than athletes — it should build people, belonging, and community.
Where We’re Going
To be a rugby club where everyone belongs, rooted in Dartmouth and defined by strength, pride, and community.
What We Do
To grow rugby in Dartmouth by creating a safe, inclusive, and demanding environment that develops players, people, and community through the game.

These are the standards that shape how we train, compete, lead, and represent the club.
Belonging

What This Means in Practice
Our mission and vision are not just words — they show up in the way we run the club.
