Something big is happening this weekend and it's not about hockey. This time it's football! I'm not really into football but our home team, the BC Lions, are going to battle the Winnipeg Blue Bombers for the 99th Grey Cup Championship on Sunday at BC Place! If When the Lions win, they are going to be just the third CFL team to win the Grey Cup at home in the last 34 years!

To celebrate, the BC Lions Football Club and the 2011 Grey Cup Festival Committee, along with countless of sponsors, will be putting on the biggest Grey Cup Festival this weekend! Starting on Thursday, the four days of the festival will include more than 25 events to experience from family-friendly activities and entertainment to concerts and beer gardens!

Contests:

1.  If you want to win some 3-day passes to the Molson Canadian House, Canada Place is hosting a contest! Find out how here.
