(Windsor) Earlier today from the Mayor’s Office, Windsor Mayor Eddie Francis announced that the City of Windsor will be leading a project to have fans from the local area autograph a Memorial Cup Bid Banner Jersey in support of the Windsor Spitfires 2011 MasterCard Memorial Cup Bid. The banner will be available for fans to sign starting on Monday April 5th at the WFCU Centre, at the Windsor Spitfires’ 7:05 pm playoff home game versus the Plymouth Whalers.
“When we make our presentation to the Canadian Hockey League on April 14th, we want to show them that the entire community is behind this bid,” said Mayor Eddie Francis.” “ We have a winning facility, a winning team, and a great city, and I encourage everyone to sign this jersey to show their support and demonstrate to the selection committee that Windsor is the obvious choice to host the MasterCard Memorial Cup in 2011,” added Mayor Francis.
Selected schools from the Windsor-Essex Catholic School Board and the Greater Essex County District School Board will also participate in the project. The project will be conducted over a four-day span, starting on Tuesday, April 6th until Friday, April 9th. Banner Sign Company, a Canadian owned company will be producing the banner jersey to assist with this initiative.
The City of Windsor encourages residents within the Windsor and Essex County area attending the Spitfires game on April 5th in supporting this initiative to further the City of Windsor’s efforts in securing the 2011 MasterCard Memorial Cup.
