    Besides deciding which Canadian football team is the best in the league, the Gray Cup Final is a time for celebration and bringing people together.

    With the big game just two days away, Regina sees the impact the championship game between the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and the Toronto Argonauts has on the CFL community.

    Fans from all over the country have packed the Queen City in anticipation, and the party is just getting started.

    “It’s the best game on the planet and it’s the best game on the turf,” said one Blue Bombers fan at this week’s Gray Cup festivities. “It’s a real Canadian tradition and it really brings the country together.”

    For another Blue Bomber fan, it’s a time to be with friends as much as going to the CFL’s biggest game.

    “The game is great, but it’s the festival and the people that draw us here.”

    Team party venues for people 19 years old and older with a purchased pass really fill up on Friday, a bigger and bigger draw for fans every year they are offered.

    Echoes of “Let’s go Bombers” and “Let’s go Argonauts” can be heard throughout the festival as fans anticipate the big game.

    One fan who won’t be rooting for either team in particular, but is thrilled to be a part of the Gray Cup events, is Regina Mayor Sandra Masters.

    “People were out, they were just celebrating the Gray Cup itself and it’s great to see,” Masters said. “And that’s what I think it’s all about. It’s about bringing community together.”

    She says seeing every CFL jersey in one place is something to remember.

    “I’m just so impressed with how happy everyone is and to get news that we have people from all over the country and we know we’re a great host city, so that’s pretty awesome,” Masters said.

    She said at a time when many people feel divided, she hopes the Gray Cup is one way people can come together.

    “I think it’s really needed in terms of connection, but connection not only within our own community but also with the rest of the country,” Masters explained.

    When asked what color she would wear on Sunday, there was only one correct answer in Saskatchewan.

    “I’ll wear green.”

    The 109st Gray Cup kicks off at 5:00 PM CST on Sunday, November 20th.
