The Grey Cup is coming to Yellowknife, as the RCMP announces its partnership with the Canadian Football League.
On Tuesday, Sept. 8, the public and media are invited to attend the RCMP Grey Cup Community Tour at Somba K’e Park.
Among those in attendance will be official keeper of the Grey Cup Jeff McWhinney and various NWT RCMP units.
The event will run from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., during the Yellowknife Farmers Market.
Yellowknife is one of three locations the Grey Cup will visit this year, including Le Pas, Man., and Whitehorse.
The Saskatchewan Roughriders won the Grey Cup in 2025 by defeating the Montreal Alouettes 25-17.
