TORONTO — The 13th Commissioner of the Canadian Football League has had an eventful first three months in office. In his first 90 days, Jeffrey L. Orridge has travelled across Canada to share in the action of the 2015 season and meet with fans and players all over the country.

Orridge’s first 90 days were full of big announcements, including Shaw as the first presenting sponsor of the Grey Cup, an extension to the TSN/RDS broadcast deal, and the new ownership group of Bell and Kilmer Group purchasing the Toronto Argonauts and relocating them to BMO field in 2016.

“The past 90 days have been filled with lots of learning, doing, and enjoying. I’ve been able to meet so many passionate fans, get their viewpoints and share in their excitement,” said Canadian Football League Commissioner, Jeffrey L. Orridge. “I’m looking forward to the next 90 days, my first Grey Cup as Commissioner, and all the opportunities we’ll have to grow the CFL in the coming years.”

To mark his first 90 days, the Commissioner visited the Twitter Canada headquarters in Toronto and hosted a Twitter Q&A. For a full recap of the session, please click here.
