Next Presentation in the Lieutenant-Governor’s Evenings at Government House
Series of Free Public Events
Lt.-Gov. Anita R. Neville invites Manitobans to attend the next presentation in a series of free public events designed to welcome Manitobans into Government House and showcase outstanding and inspiring Manitobans who, through words and deeds, continually work to make the province better for all.
As part of the lead-up to the 112th Grey Cup in Winnipeg, this special presentation will feature Jeff McWhinney, the official Keeper of the Grey Cup, accompanied by the iconic trophy itself. McWhinney will share the remarkable story of Canada’s most iconic trophy, from its origins in 1909 to the thousands of players, coaches and staff whose names are etched onto its silver chalice. Drawing from his many years travelling with the Cup, McWhinney will offer a rare behind-the-scenes perspective on its traditions, craftsmanship and the enduring human stories that make the Grey Cup a living piece of Canadian history.
The event will be held on Thursday, Nov. 6, at Government House. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Program begins at 7 p.m. Parking is available on both sides of the Government House driveway with light refreshments to follow.
Those wishing to attend must register in advance with the Office of the Lieutenant-Governor by calling 204-945-2753. Guests may reserve a maximum of two seats per registration. Please note that large bags and backpacks will not be permitted. Registration is now open. Seating is limited. There is no cost to attend.

Lieutenant Governor’s Sharing Hope Initiative.
