Canadian North sponsors CFL
By Adnews Staff
Canadian North of Calgary has signed a sponsorship agreement with the Canadian Football League to become the official airline of the league. The three-year agreement will include transporting the competing teams to the Grey Cup championship game in Vancouver in November.
"There is nothing more Canadian than the CFL and we are excited to be partnering with both the league and the Grey Cup," said Steve Hankirk, president of Canadian North. "We're thrilled to broaden our relationship with the CFL and believe this creates opportunities for more teams to charter with Canadian North."
Canadian North provides passenger and cargo air services to 21 destinations in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut from Edmonton and Ottawa. The company is a subsidiary of NorTerra, which is owned by the Inuvialuit Development Corporation.
