The Vanier Cup Champions

The Vanier Cup was created in 1965 when His Excellency, the late General Georges Vanier, then Governor General of Canada, graciously granted permission to the Canadian Save the Children Fund to name the trophy awarded to the winner of the annual Canadian College Bowl, the Vanier Cup

In 1964 and 1966 the Canadian College Bowl was an invitational event featuring two outstanding Canadian College football teams selected by a national panel. - Courtesy 1998 CIAU Almanac
