GREY CUP CELEBRATIONS & DINNER
jxwÇxáwtç? bvàÉuxÜ DJ? ECDE
The Rideau Club will celebrate the historic Grey Cup at a dinner event Wednesday
October 17 featuring a talk by Mark Cohon, Commissioner of the Canadian Football
League (CFL). He will talk to Club members and guests about the quintessentially
Canadian game and its part in our national identity.
The Hon. René Marin, a long-time Club member, will introduce Mr. Cohon.
At a reception prior to the dinner, Governor General David Johnston will speak for a
few minutes about the history of the game and greet several former CFL players who
will attend the event.
In 1909 the then Governor General Lord Grey presented the first Grey Cup for “the
team winning the senior amateur football championship of Canada”. Because the
championship game was not played during some of the First World War years, the CFL
final in Toronto this November will be the 100th Grey Cup game. The cup, which is now
awarded for professional football in Canada, is the second oldest trophy in North
America after the Stanley Cup and the championship game is Canada’s single largest
annual sporting event.

CÉLÉBRATION DE LA COUPE GREY ET DÎNER

Le Rideau Club célébrera la Coupe Grey lors d’un dîner qui aura lieu le 17 octobre et au cours duquel Mark Cohon,
commissaire de la Ligue canadienne de football (LCF) fera un exposé. Il parlera aux membres du Club et à leurs
invités du jeu éminemment canadien et de sa place dans notre identité nationale. L’honorable René Marin, membre
du Club de longue date, présentera M. Cohon.
Lors de la réception précédant le dîner, le gouverneur général, David Johnston, parlera pendant quelques minutes
au sujet de l’histoire du sport et souhaitera la bienvenue à plusieurs anciens joueurs de la LCF qui seront présents.
En 1909, le gouverneur général d’alors, Lord Grey, présenta la première Coupe Grey à « l’équipe qui a remporté le
championnat de football amateur senior du Canada ». Aucun match de championnat n’ayant été disputé certaines
années de la Première Guerre mondiale, c’est en novembre de cette année que se déroulera le 100e match de la
Coupe Grey. La Coupe, maintenant décernée dans le contexte du football professionnel au Canada, est le trophée
le plus ancien de l’Amérique du Nord après la Coupe Stanley. Le match de championnat est le plus grand
événement sportif annuel au Canada.
