Sources: Ex-CFL star, Ontario cabinet minister Lumsden in mix for Elks president
A name familiar to Edmonton Elks fans has surfaced as a potential president of the CFL club.
According to two sources, Neil Lumsden, who won three Grey Cups as a fullback with Edmonton, has emerged as a candidate for the Elks’ full-time president position.
Lumsden, of London, Ont., is currently Ontario’s Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport. He was elected in the riding of Hamilton East-Stoney Creek in June 2022.
Lumsden didn’t immediately return telephone messages to both his ministry and constituency offices Monday.
