With September 30th marked as Canada’s National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, the CFL and its member clubs respectfully recognized the day and a continued commitment towards positive growth in Canada in a number of amazing ways:
Below are just some of the ways CFL teams marked and honoured the day:
As a part of this commitment, the club is honoured to unveil a new, star-blanket themed logo designed by local Anishinaabe artist and star blanket designer Dené Sinclair. The logo will be used during the October 8th game against the Edmonton Elks alongside an honouring ceremony. pic.twitter.com/0XVtt2Phb7
