HAMILTON — The Grey Cup has made its way to Hamilton.
On Tuesday morning the coveted trophy arrived in Hamilton ahead of Sunday’s 108th Grey Cup matchup between the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
The Grey Cup Arrival Delivered by Canada Drives featured Two Royal Canadian Air Force CH-146 Griffons from the 430 Tactical Helicopter Squadron that flew the Grey Cup and Canadian Football League (CFL) Commissioner, Randy Ambrosie, to Bayfront Park.
Canada Drives then delivered the pair to the centre of the park for a land acknowledgement and a brief ceremony to officially welcome the iconic trophy to the home of the 108th Grey Cup.
