“For over a century, the Grey Cup has been one of Canada’s most important sporting events. Canadians tune in from every corner of the country to cheer on their teams and watch remarkable displays of sporting excellence. The Grey Cup wouldn’t be possible without the world-class athletes and dedicated fans, whose passion for the sport inspires us all.

I also extend my thanks to the City of Vancouver for welcoming over 500,000 fans from across the country and making this year’s Grey Cup a success.
