Justin Beaver travels to each Grey Cup Festival. The 111th Grey Cup will be hosted at BC Place on November 17.
The team currently has two regular mascots in Leo and Roary, both of whom help develop an exciting atmosphere at BC Place.
“As a young cub, Leo lived in a den in the North Shore mountains. His parents left Leo to fend for himself early in life so that he could develop the skills needed for survival,” reads the Lions website. “During one blissful summer day, he found himself on the practice field of the BC Lions Football Club.”
“Roary is not just your ordinary lion; they bring a unique and inclusive spirit to the team. With a passion for dance and a charismatic personality, Roary is sure to win the hearts of fans young and old alike,” continues the Lions website. “As Leo the Lion’s trusty sidekick, Roary adds an extra layer of excitement and joy to every game and event.”
The mascot job posting lists a few key responsibilities, including maintaining character, staying professional, interacting with kids, dancing, taking photos, and more.
Some of the qualifications include the ability to improvise, a willingness to work flexible hours, comfort in front of crowds, and a driver’s license.
The Lions have also opened registration for their Uproar Dance Team and promo team. Starting in 2022, they have been welcoming male dancers to audition and everyone is encouraged to try out.
Male auditions take place on Saturday, February 24 at Spiral Dance in White Rock, BC. Female auditions take place the next day on Sunday, February 25 at the same spot.
