With the clock ticking down until the Saskatchewan Roughriders take the field against the Montreal Alouettes for Sunday’s Grey Cup, the provincial government is encouraging fans to show their Rider pride.

On Thursday, Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Alana Ross signed a proclamation designating Friday, November 14th, as “Green and White Day.”

“Rider Nation, it is time to show our support for the Roughriders as they get set to battle the Alouettes for the CFL’s greatest prize – the Grey Cup,” Ross said. “As part of Green and White Day in Saskatchewan, residents throughout the province are encouraged to wear the team’s colours. So, let’s show off our Rider pride ahead of Sunday’s big game. Go Riders.”

Last Saturday, the Roughriders won the CFL Western Division final with a 24-21 victory over the BC Lions at Mosaic Stadium.

The Roughriders and Alouettes will meet in the 112th Grey Cup at Princess Auto Stadium in Winnipeg on Sunday, November 16, with kickoff scheduled for 5:00 p.m.
