For the week of Aug. 6, 2023:
On the B.C. Day edition of thePodcast, the president of the B.C. Lions is Bob Mackin’s guest.
B.C. Lions president Duane Vienneau (BC Lions)
The six-time Grey Cup champions have had many ups and downs since joining the league in 1954. As part of dynamic owner Amar Doman’s long-term plan to pack B.C. Place Stadium, he brought Duane Vienneau to Vancouver a year ago.
Vienneau, the CFL’s former Chief Grey Cup and Events Officer has a dual focus: to bring fans and sponsors back to B.C. Place Stadium and plan for the 2024 Grey Cup in Vancouver.
“We want to be the provincial team, it’s the B.C. Lions, not the Vancouver Lions,” Vienneau said. “Amar, since the day he bought this team, he said I want to reach out and invite young children and families to come to games.”
Plus commentary, the Virtual Nanaimo Bar award to a difference maker, and Pacific Rim and Pacific Northwest headlines.
