BC Lions Hope Community Event

Due to the overwhelming popularity of this event, we have been allocated an additional 25 tickets that can be purchased. It is not too late to join our fellow church and school members for a fun night supporting the Lions as they get ready for the playoffs! GO LIONS!!!

Come on out for a night of football, faith, and community building! We have secured a special group rate for the BC Lions’ game against the Calgary Stampeders on October 20th (7:00pm). We chose this night because it is the BC Lions’ Faith and Family Night event.

The special event will include meeting a few players and the team’s chaplain after the football game. Please see this Information Document to assist with how to purchase tickets and THIS LINK to purchase the tickets.

This is a great opportunity for our school members and church members to meet and strengthen our Hope community. Feel free to invite your friends and family to join us.

Look forward to seeing everyone there!

Hi Hope Church and School Families,

Thank you for purchasing tickets to the BC Lions annual Faith & Family Night.

We are looking forward to an exciting game on the field versus the Calgary Stampeders and then a post-game event where our Team Chaplain will discuss Faith, Family, & Football with select players.

Once the event starts it is expected to last approximately 30 – 45 minutes.

To access the event please make your way to Section 210 after the game where BC Lions Account Executives will direct you down to the seating area.

Once the event is over you will be directed to exit through Gate H. Gate H can be accessed by walking up the ramp or an elevator is available if required.

Again, thank you for being a part of this annual event and we are looking forward to seeing you on Friday evening.
