Receiver Josh Stanford and a 2nd round pick in 2020 goes to the Alouettes for o-lineman Phillip Blake and fullback Patrick Lavoie.

--Rachel Homan's rink has a guaranteed berth in the Scotties Tournament of Hearts after all.

Homan was to have been Team Canada at the 2018 Scotties, but she could not compete due to the fact she was representing Canada at the Winter Olympics meaning Jennifer Jones took over as Team Canada.
