Molson and the Green and Go Program

Attention all Eskimos fans: get a free ride to and from every Eskimos home game this season!!

For the second year, Molson is Proud to Play our Part in supporting the Edmonton Eskimos Green and Go Program. The Green and Go Program is a unique partnership between Molson, the Eskimos and Edmonton Transit that gives fans holding a valid gameday ticket a free ride on transit, LRT or Park and Ride two hours before and after each Eskimos home game.

The Green and Go Program is a perfect fit for our Here’s to Responsible Choices campaign, which focuses on celebrating the responsible choices that our consumers make.

Below is a clip from Shaw TV’s Green and Gold Gridiron show where I talk about the program.

Although the weather outside was frigid, it was nice and warm inside the downtown Edmonton Hudsons location yesterday for the “Great Canadian Food Drive.” Brad Devarennes, Retail Sales Manager for Alberta, spearheaded this event for the second straight year in partnership with the Bear Radio Station and Hudsons Canadian Taphouse. From 11am-7pm, both food and cash donations for Edmonton’s Food Bank were accepted. As an added bonus, Tom Gilbert from the Edmonton Oilers and Ron McClendon from the Edmonton Eskimos, signed autographs for patrons.

Including Molson’s donation of $5,000, almost $7,000 was raised during the day – and an amazing 3,560 pounds of food was donated by generous Edmontonians. Truly, this event made a real difference for those in need.

Congratulations to the Molson Team and our partners for Playing Their Part!!

Molson and its longtime partner the Edmonton Eskimos today announced the “Green and Go” program, a one year pilot program that will provide free service on Park n’ Ride, LRT and regular transit two hours before and after each home game to anyone holding an Eskimo ticket.

Molson is a longtime sponsor of Canadian sports from the grassroots level right up to the pros, and we are proud to play our part in helping to provide a safe and cost effective way for loyal Eskimo fans to get to and from the game this season.
