The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have made some changes to the game day transportation plan! The most notable change, they’ve moved from nine to seven park and ride locations. The Garden City Shopping Centre and Kildonan Place locations will not be running this season. If you live in the Garden City area, you’re encouraged to use the McPhillips Station park and ride, if you’re in the Kildonan Place area you can use transit route 75 at Kildonan Place, or hope on the Club Regent park and ride!

 

The first pre-season game is Wednesday at IGF!! GO BLUE GO!!
