Vancouver Grey Cup Weekend 2005

Nov 27, 2005

By Catherine Barr

 

The "Party on the Pacific" was the theme of this year's Grey Cup 2005. There were hospitality suites, street celebrations, gala dinners and the Saturday morning parade featuring BC's own blonde bombshell Pamela Anderson and Governor General, Her Excellency the Right Honourable Michaelle Jean. The Player's Awards were held at the Centre for Performing Arts and, afterwards, big name faces gathered at the Vancouver Library for the Blake, Cassels and Graydon VIP reception.

Vancouver's best events and celebrity functions are all archived here. Vancouver pubs, clubs, nightclubs, gala events and fundraisers are included. Thanks for viewing.

Due to server capacity, you will not be able to access or click through to the larger photographs. With over 250,000 unique visits each month, our site would quickly exceed the amount of memory needed.

If you would like to receive a copy of a photograph, then please send an email and enclose the details of the event, the date, the name, the photo number and the names of the people in the photograph. Also, for security reasons, I prefer not to email copies of pictures to anyone other than the people who are actually in the photo. Thanks.
