I hear you, I don’t have old newspapers but still have a few scrap books.These are a couple of those pics from 1967 Grey Cup held here in Ottawa between Ti-Cats and Saskatchewan.So many memories. I’m certain you’ll recognize many CFL Hall of Famers. Cheers

Beautiful, John!! I was 7 that year. We had gone to the parade the day before. The next day, I remember I was sick and on the couch with a blanket on me. For old papers, I subscribe to https://newspapers.com. I can look at papers from everywhere and see stories about everything

I was 10 & actually very fortunate to attend the game.My Dad & I had season tix in the West end zone that he had purchased from Benny Steck IGA.Such a great time to be a CFL fan especially in Ottawa with Rider greats Jackson, Stewart, Tucker, Racine, etc.Will take note of the website thnx for that.

It's an awesome resource. I'm working on a piece about May 1, 1991. On that day, Rickey Henderson stole the base that allowed him to pass Lou Brock for the all-time record. That same day, Nolan Ryan pitched his 7th no-hitter.
