2011 CFL Grey Cup in Vancouver - Parties, Fans and Famous Faces

The 99th Grey Cup was held in Vancouver last week and fans from all over Canada came out to the coast to take in the football action. Hometown favourites BC Lions came out victorious over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, but the real winners were the fans who kept the four-day party going all weekend long. Vancouver's Convention Centre served as the main hub for most of the team houses and all of the big gala events, including the CFL Player Awards, the Blakes After-Party and the $350-a-ticket "Show Your Colours" Gala where even Prime Minister Stephen Harper made an appearance.
