Vanier Cup spurs economic strides for City of Regina

People were flying in and booking hotels in Regina in hopes of seeing the Vanier Cup in person on Saturday, and it's resulted in a much-needed boost for local businesses.

First, the Saskatchewan Roughriders won the Grey Cup in Winnipeg last week. Then, the Vanier Cup was hosted at Regina’s very own Mosaic Stadium on Saturday.

Football fans from all over the country are hungry for more. With Saskatchewan’s very own Huskies going up against the Montreal Carabins, there were dedicated fans hoping to get a seat at the stadium where it would all go down.
