"Rugby Canada is excited to welcome back the HSBC Canada Women’s Sevens event after a challenging period of time for both our sport and the Canadian rugby community," said Rugby Canada interim CEO Jamie Levchuk in a statement announcing the tournament's return.

The annual tournament was last held in 2019.

"As a sports fan, I am personally excited to welcome back Canada’s women to home soil alongside such a passionate rugby fan base," Young added. "Events such as these are a great opportunity to showcase Langford on the world stage as well as provide a boost to our local economy."

Tickets start at $60 for a two-day, general-admission pass and reach $109 for premium seats.
