CFL and The Tragically Hip Team Up with Province of Canada for Exclusive Apparel Line
The CFL, The Tragically Hip, and Province of Canada launch an exclusive apparel collection and charity posters benefiting local food banks across Canada.
A Made-in-Canada Collaboration
A new partnership bringing together the Canadian Football League, iconic rock band The Tragically Hip, and apparel manufacturer Province of Canada has launched an exclusive, limited-edition clothing line. Announced on August 28, 2026, in Toronto, the collection features T-shirts and hoodies highlighting the league along with all nine individual CFL franchises.
Alongside the clothing line, the collaboration introduces nine team-specific commemorative posters styled after the visual aesthetic of the band’s Road Apples era. All proceeds generated from poster sales will directly benefit local food banks across every CFL market.
Availability and Stadium Sales
The exclusive apparel is available while supplies last through Province of Canada’s website, online across the nine CFL Team Shops, and in-person inside stadiums nationwide. Toronto-based Province of Canada manufactures its products domestically using natural fabrics and plastic-free packaging.
“At its heart, this partnership is about celebrating Canada. The CFL has long brought communities together through the game of football, while The Hip’s music has told the story of our country for years. Combined with Province of Canada’s commitment to Canadian craftmanship, we’ve created a collection that represents the best of who we are as Canadians and that’s something our fans can wear with pride,” stated CFL Commissioner Stewart Johnston.
Commemorating the Band’s Legacy
Formed in Kingston, Ontario, in 1984, The Tragically Hip earned 17 Juno Awards and produced 13 studio albums over a career exceeding 40 years. Following their final hometown concert on August 20, 2016, a recent re-broadcast on August 22 marked the performance’s 10th anniversary. The band’s guitarist, Rob Baker, reflected on his lifelong connection to the league, noting that while childhood games of yard tackle fade, a strong appreciation for the Canadian game endures as part of the country’s national cultural fabric.
Province of Canada Co-Founder Jeremy Watt, who grew up in Kingston, noted that the band influenced his brand deeply and called the collaboration a full-circle moment tied to marking the 10th anniversary of the band’s final show.
The announcement arrives as the 2026 CFL season builds toward the 113th Grey Cup, scheduled to take place at Calgary’s McMahon Stadium on Sunday, November 15.

Lake Country Resident Priscila Brunetto Steps Forward as First Candidate for Mayor
Priscila Brunetto, 39, becomes the first candidate to announce a bid for mayor in the District of Lake Country ahead of the 2026 General Local Elections.
First Candidate Enters Mayoral Race
With the 2026 General Local Elections slightly more than a month away, the District of Lake Country has its first official contender for mayor. Priscila Brunetto, 39, declared her intent to campaign for the municipality’s top public role this coming fall.
Background and Professional Experience
A resident of Lake Country for nine years, Brunetto is a mother of three and married to a police officer, according to her biography on the district’s elections page. Professionally, she serves as a senior manager of process improvement and manufacturing, a role focused on team leadership, operational optimization, and enhancing production-floor efficiency.
“My professional background has taught me how to look at problems practically, find realistic solutions, move things forward. That’s the approach I want to bring – focused, constructive, and grounded in the everyday experience of raising a family here,” Brunetto stated.
Platform and Key Priorities
Outline priorities for her campaign center on public infrastructure, housing affordability, and local economic development. In addressing infrastructure, she emphasized creating “safer roads, improved sidewalks and more practical transportation options.”
“I’m running because I love Lake Country and want to help keep it a wonderful place to live for the next generation,” she said. “I would be honoured to earn your support and work together to make our community even better.”
