OTTAWA â The Ottawa Renegades are throwing a party Friday night, and everyone is invited.
The launch of the 2004 Kickin' It In The Capital Grey Cup Festival Week will officially begin this Friday night, August 20 at Ottawa City Hall (Festival Plaza) beginning at 7 p.m. The public is invited to attend the free event open to all. Renegades players will be on hand, as will the Molson Canadian Light Dance Team.
