As part of the #GreyCup festivities in Ottawa, the REDBLACKS and Grey Cup Festival hosted the first ever #BringItIn Rally at TD Place! Complete with star studded guest appearances, over 4,000+ kids attended and got to hear incredible messages about diversity, teamwork, the dangers of bullying and the power of inclusiveness.

Kids from our school are at #BringItIn – a 105th Grey Cup Festival event. A friend volunteering for trip texted me: @thehopkins95 on stage. Started football camp for kids with autism. Spoke of kids changing the world. "One hour a week in your community will change the world". https://t.co/VXGVUuFUhu
