THE CANADIAN Football
League received 15 million more
reasons to celebrate the 75th an-
niversary of the Grey Cup Game
when Canada Post officially laun-
ched sales of a special 36-cent

Launched recentiy at a ceremony
at Posthouse, 1010 Howe Street in
Vancouver, the stamp design
features a football in play, a crowd
of spectators and the Grey Cup
superimposed on a_ backdrop
depicting a regulation Canadian
football playing field.

“There are few lasting events
which capture the imagination and
attention of the country to the ex-
tent of the Grey Cup game,”’ said
John Aiken, vice-president of field
operations and sales for Canada
Post.

complete with chuckwagons,
brought the hometown spirit to
Toronto and inspired an unheard
of attendance of 20,013; and, of
course, the 1977 ‘broomball’
blowout in Montreal where atten-
dance reached an all-time high of
68,318 in the Olympic Stadium.
The amateur football players,
philatelists, Special Olympic
athletes and other guests attending
the launch of the stamp were
treated to a first-hand viewing of
significant Grey Cup memorabilia,
including the game ball from the
1964 victory by the B.C. Lions, the

Schenley Award, and the Grey
Cup itself. All items were made
available courtesy of the Canadian
Football League, the B.C. Sports
Hall of Fame and the B.C. Lions.

Members of the B.C. Lions
Alumni were also available to sign
commemorative first-day covers of
the stamp which carry a Van-
couver, B.C. postal cancellation,
in recognition of the location of
the 75th Anniversary game.
