CORPORATE PARTNERS

Canadian Football League The CFL operates in eight leading cities across Canada, celebrating Canada's game with fans across the nation and culminating with an annual historic national championship -"The Grey Cup". Football Canada and the CFL have enjoyed a long and unique relationship. In 1909, Lord Earl Grey, then Governor-General of Canada, entrusted The Grey Cup trophy to be awarded to the Rugby Football Champions of Canada. In 1966, the trusteeship of the Grey Cup was turned over by the Canadian Rugby Union (Football Canada) to the CFL with the understanding that the CFL would support Football Canada programs with a $50,000 annual grant. This year's 94th Grey Cup will be played in Winnipeg, Manitoba on November 19th 2006.

NFL Canada The National Football League's goal, on a multi-national basis, is to support football wherever it is played. NFL Canada, formed in 1997 as a division of NFL International, was created with this goal in mind. The National Football League, through NFL Canada, makes complementing and working in partnership with the Canadian Football League a priority. Both leagues share the goal of strengthening the interest, awareness and participation in football among Canadians. In addition to Reebok NFL/CFL Flag Football Canada, a physical education program active in more than 1,300 schools, other joint grassroots initiatives include the NFL/CFL High School Coach Recognition Program and Junior Player Development, a community-based tackle football introductory program for youths aged 11-14.
