Most of the Saskatchewan Roughriders\u2019 road trips take place during the off-season.<\/p>\n
That is especially true of late, with representatives of the community-owned CFL team routinely hitting the highways via three avenues:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Grey Cup Community Tour<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2022 Rider Reading.<\/p>\n \u2022 Win With Wellness.<\/p>\n In support of the latter two initiatives \u2014\u00a0under the Saskatchewan Roughrider Foundation<\/a> umbrella \u2014\u00a0Player Ambassadors have once again visited schools throughout the province to promote literacy and mental health.<\/p>\n On top of that, Roughriders players and\/or Gainer the Gopher have travelled to various destinations in the fine company of the Grey Cup. Saskatchewan won the fifth championship in franchise history by defeating the Montreal Alouettes 25-17 in Winnipeg on Nov. 16.<\/p>\n \u201cIt has been an exciting winter for us and for our fans,\u201d President-CEO Craig Reynolds said. \u201cWe\u2019re so grateful for the support we receive from across the province and, while we have the Cup, we want to share it with as many people as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n The Grey Cup Community Tour, which will last two months, includes several stops that are just around the corner:<\/p>\n Thursday (Feb. 26): Assiniboia (Southland Co-op Centre, 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.).<\/p>\n Friday: Foam Lake Community Hall (4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.).
