The Toronto Nomads, Aurora Barbarians, Markham Irish Canadians and to a lesser extent the Brantford Harlequins all owe their existence to those early Wanderers.

Over the years Wanderers have toured extensively within Canada, the United States, Great Britain and even an occasional trip to the continent.

Developing players to play on the provincial, national and international stage has always been a priority and the Wanderers have provided players to the Canadian national team almost from its beginnings with John Ackerly representing his country in 1971 and that tradition has continued through the years with the likes of Karl Svoboda playing in the first three World Cups, and Dave Moonlight who is the leading points and try scorer for Canada in sevens.

John Moonlight and Kyle Armstrong are current members of the Men's National Program and several Wanderers have recently represented their country at U17 and U20 level.

With the success of the Men's 1st XV, the club has seen itself, in 2011, win promotion back into the Ontario leagues for the first time in a decade.
