Spring is here and soon the Canadian Football League will be making a stop in Kamloops as the BC Lions are set to return for their annual training camp and FanFest.
“FanFest is a marquee event on our calendar that helps us officially launch a new season while enabling our great fans to establish a connection to our team,” said Lions president Duane Vienneau.
“We thank our great Lion fans and great partners at BCLC for making this event possible to execute.”
FanFest is slated for Saturday, May 24, at Hillside Stadium and will begin with an open practice where younger fans will have the opportunity to take part in activities and games.
There will then be a play with the pros clinic followed by a player autograph session. Registration for the football skills clinic for kids aged six to 13 will open in the near future.
Training camp gets underway with the first-year Lions reporting to Hillside Stadium on May 7 and the veterans reporting on May 10.
