Canada National Day of Truth and Reconciliation CFL Game announcement

August 10, 2022

In 2021, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, along with the Exchange Income Corporation, and several indigenous organizations, announced a partnership to honor Canada’s National Day for Truth and Reconciliation to recognize Indigenous people who were impacted by Residential Schools. Kivalliq Inuit Association is pleased to announce that the partnership for the 2022 football season will be continued.

In partnership with Calm Air, KIA will be selecting names of those residing in Arviat, Baker Lake, Chesterfield Inlet, Coral Harbour, Naujaat, Rankin Inlet, Sanikiluaq, and Whale Cove. 10 tickets are provided per community for the Winnipeg Blue Bomber’s home game against the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Friday, September 30, 2022, at 7:00 P.M.

Each guest will receive:

• One ticket to the game
• 3 nights hotel accommodation (guests are scheduled to fly to Winnipeg on September 29, 2022, and fly back to their communities on October 3, 2022)
• Transportation round trip to the game from a designated meeting place
• A special game day hooded sweatshirt and toque
• A meal voucher for use at IG Field (Hotdog, chips, non-alcoholic drink)

A special pre-game ceremony will take place to welcome the selected guests. Each community will nominate two (2) guests to be entered into a draw to participate in the on field, pre-game ceremony. The selected guests will run out of the tunnel in advance of the team. For the 2022 season, the CFL requires anyone entering the field of play ONLY to be vaccinated. However, providing proof of COVID-19 vaccination is not required to attend games at IG field.
