Blue Bombers Cheerleading Alumni Gather for Special Reunion
Former Winnipeg Blue Bombers cheerleaders experienced a heartwarming reunion this past weekend during the GMC Cheer Extravaganza at the University of Winnipeg's Duckworth Centre. The emotional gathering brought together multiple generations of cheerleading alumni who had proudly represented the CFL team throughout different eras.
Memorable Moments at Duckworth Centre
The event, held on Saturday, November 15, 2025, saw alumni cheerleaders posing for an official group photograph that captured the spirit and camaraderie of the Blue Bombers community. The Duckworth Centre provided the perfect backdrop for this special occasion, which occurred during Grey Cup weekend celebrations in Winnipeg.
Organized as part of the larger GMC Cheer Extravaganza, the reunion allowed former cheerleaders to reconnect with old friends and share memories of their time supporting the Blue Bombers. The timing proved particularly significant given that Prime Minister Mark Carney was also in Winnipeg participating in Grey Cup festivities and Louis Riel ceremony events.

The cheerleader reunion added to the excitement building around the 2025 Grey Cup championship game between the Montreal Alouettes and Saskatchewan Roughriders. While the Blue Bombers weren't competing in this year's final, their spirit remained strong through events like the cheerleader gathering.
The reunion demonstrated the enduring bonds formed through sports and community involvement. Many alumni traveled from across Canada to participate in the event, highlighting the lasting impact of their cheerleading experiences with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers organization.
As Grey Cup celebrations continued throughout Winnipeg, the cheerleader reunion stood out as a testament to the rich tradition and community spirit that defines Canadian football culture. The successful event likely sets the stage for future alumni gatherings as the Blue Bombers community continues to grow and celebrate its history.
