The Argos hosted their Thank You Oshawa event at the Bulldog Pub in Oshawa on Tuesday night. Members of Oshawa city council, the CAW, Oshawa Chamber of Commerce, Oshawa Community Health Centre, and the Rock 94.9 morning show crew with contest winners from both Rock 94.9 and Oshawa This Week all enjoyed the event.
Oshawa native WR Andre Talbot, OG Taylor Robertson and OT Bryan Ramsay, members of the 2009 Argos Cheerleaders, presented by the Toronto Sun, and front office staff all tasted the Bull Dog’s world famous wings while mixing with local bar patrons and the invited guests.
All of the special guests were recruited to join the Argos this season to form one of the best off-field teams in the CFL. Everyone was offered a standard player contract, and when they put their name to paper they received their signing bonus – a new CFL football – had their picture with Taylor Robertson and members fo the cheerleading team, and are now eagerly preparing for the upcoming season.
Also on Tuesday, Argos Manager, Community Relations, Jason Colero and Argos Cheerleader Brigette, in partnership with the Oshawa Community Health Centre, shared their stories with the parents and children of Oshawa. The two Argonauts representatives reiterated messages from the Boatmen’s award winning Huddle Up Bullying Prevention Program and Brigette taught the group what it means to Argo-cise! The group broke a sweat while sharing a laugh with Argos mascot Jason.
Each student received a poster and certificate acknowledging their participation in the event as a special thank you from the Oshawa Health Centre and the Toronto Argonauts.
