67 Sleeps update


Well, the 50th Vanier Cup is a mere 67 days away.

Chief organizer / President for Life, Kenny G asked me to send out this special bulletin with updates on the event November 28-30 in Montreal. Note for those of us in from the beginning, it is our 20th anniversary tour. Good times.

See attachment for minutes from our Vanier Cup Road Tour Executive Meeting.  Here is some further info.

1)      Tickets: We have 26 tickets purchased for the event. They are $30 each if you haven’t paid up yet. If you are getting this email I have you on the list for a ticket.

2)      Transportation: Preferred method of transportation for the Ottawa contingent is VIA Rail. Buy online here. An executive decision has been made that the preferred departure time is Friday November 28 at 9:55 am from Ottawa and return train on Sunday November 30 at 12:50 pm from Montreal. Current price for a round trip ticket is under $75. I recommend you purchase now. You could wait for a sale, but it you would hate to miss the train with the rest of us wouldn’t you? Once you get your ticket confirmed, email me your confirmation number and I will get us all sitting close together.

3)      Hotel: Commander Landers has a deal for us at Hilton Garden Inn Downtown in Montreal at a group rate of $135 a night (normally about $190).  He needs us to book rooms in order to ensure we keep this good rate, so figure out who you are rooming with and book a room soon please. Note that the website actually defaults to staying over on the Thursday, so you probably want to ensure that you are starting your booking for Friday night.  Here is the info:


Should the participants need to book by phone, the block code is VANIE1.

As a reminder, all reservations have to be made before October 29th, 2014.

                                Hotel Address:  380 Sherbrooke St. West, Montreal
                               Phone Number: 514-840-0904

That’s it for now. More updates to come later I am sure from Kenny.
