The Saskatchewan Roughriders have unveiled the details of their Grey Cup parade after winning their fifth CFL championship on Sunday.
The parade will begin at 2:00 p.m. local time on Tuesday, Nov. 18 on Albert Street from 13th Street to 20th Street. Though the team will depart from Mosaic Stadium, the Roughriders have asked fans to avoid that area due to concerns regarding congestion.
Instead, fans are encouraged to line Albert Street, which they’ve dubbed the ‘Green Mile,’ with the parade culminating at the Legislature at 3:00 p.m. There will be a one-hour program at the building where head coach Corey Mace and Grey Cup Most Valuable Player Trevor Harris will address the crowd with speeches.
The Roughriders have also encouraged fans to dress appropriately for the weather and to celebrate responsibly. The forecast calls for a high of six degrees with a 30 percent chance of showers in Regina.
The Saskatchewan Roughriders defeated the Montreal Alouettes in the 112th Grey Cup at Princess Auto Stadium in Winnipeg by a score of 25-17.
Trevor Harris was named Most Valuable Player after he completed 23-of-27 pass attempts for 302 yards, winning his first Grey Cup as a starter. Samuel Emilus was named Most Valuable Canadian after he made 10 catches for 108 yards, finishing only two receptions shy of tying the Grey Cup record.
