On Thanksgiving Day, the Vanier Cheetahs football team joined the players of the Montreal Alouettes to distribute the Welcome Hall Mission Thanksgiving meal, a long tradition with the Alouettes.
Daniel Boyer, Coordinator, Community Engagement at the mission was thrilled with the presence of all the football players. “A huge thanks to coach Joe and Vanier College for helping us with our Thanksgiving meal distribution. What a special group of guys you have playing on your RSEQ Division 1 football team, they were so helpful, worked hard and most of all interacted with the men at the Mission in a way we haven't seen in a long time. I hope your coaches and players found the experience rewarding and I hope we can collaborate again in the future.”
For the Vanier players it was a much-appreciated opportunity to give back to the community.
