SALUT E TO A MAT EUR FOOT BA L L The BC Lions’ home-stand continues as we take on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. On the field, the stakes are high as Michael Reilly and the Lions can move to within two points of top spot in the tight Western Division! Wide receiver Lucky Whitehead has been a star player for the squad this season, and is sure to be fired up playing against his former team.

We are also excited to have you join us as we salute amateur football in British Columbia, and recognize our 2020 Orange Helmet award winners!

BC PLACE

COVID-19 PROTOCOLS We are taking precautions to keep our fans safe! Please view the requirements below, and be prepared to adhere to these rules when inside BC Place.

VACCINATIONS

SOCIAL DISTANCING

Proof of one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, in addition to one piece of Government issued ID will be required for entry into BC Place.

Details on obtaining the BC Vaccine Card have been outlined by the Provincial Health Authority and can be found at https://www2.gov. bc.ca/vaccinecard.html.

The BC Restart plan allows 50% of the capacity of seats sold, which amounts to 12,550 fans in BC Place. Social distancing will not be required, however, fans are encouraged to take their seats and not mingle on the concourse as the capacity of the concourse is more limited.

MASKS

SEAT SPACING

Masks are now mandatory for all guests aged 5 and older. Masks, covering the nose and mouth, must be worn at all times except when you are eating or drinking in your assigned seat. This rule will apply regardless of whether the BC Place roof is open or closed. If you need a mask, they will be available in section 234.

Distanced pods are not required in stage 3 of BC’s restart plan, but with limited capacity, seats will be spread out to provide separation.

If you are concerned about your seat location, contact us at 604.589.ROAR(7627) or fanservices@bclions.com.

BC PLACE

article ADVE RSITY BRI NGS OPPORTUN ITY Oftentimes, they get far too much blame for a loss and not nearly enough credit for victories. The position takes both a huge physical and mental toll. No, the offensive line is definitely not a position for the faint of heart. But despite a laundry list of adversity that includes missing starting right tackle Ryker Mathews...

article EDWARDS COOPE R, ALWAYS A LION First-year Lion Jalon Edwards-Cooper told himself at the beginning of the training camp, “I can’t come back home.

I packed too many clothes. I’m not going home like that.”

Since then, the 24-year-old field corner has been making quite an impression so far in 2021...
