VANCOUVER, BC, June 12, 2024 – Downtown play-and-stay destination Parq Vancouver is showing the pride and announcing a new partnership with the BC Lions as the Official Casino Resort of the hometown team as it kicks off its 2024 Canadian Football League (CFL) season.
Located just a short walk from the Lions’ den for home games at BC Place Stadium, Parq Vancouver is perfectly positioned to provide fans with world-class food, drink and entertainment experiences for all BC Lions games throughout the season starting with the season home opener this Saturday, June 15 versus Calgary at 4 p.m.
