Winnipeg Blue Bombers Bridging the Gap

 

Each year, The Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Perimeter Aviation, and Exchange Income Corporation (EIC) are proud to welcome Indigenous youth and their families from our northern Manitoba communities to IG Field. In 2021, EIC brought in 1,000 members from 80 different First Nations communities.

The program is in support of the Northern Manitoba communities suicide prevention and stay in school initiatives as a reward for leadership and favourable school attendance. Each home game, youth from Northern Manitoban communities receive a VIP Bombers game day experience including:

  • Reserved section of seats at IG Field
  • Video board recognition
  • Meals and snacks during the game
  • A meet and greet with Bomber players on the field at the end of the game
  • Merchandise souvenirs to remember their experience
