For Grey Cup 2010 Week in Edmonton, Ziptrek, in partnership with Capital Power, constructed an 80-foot tower in downtown Edmonton for football fans to zip 520' over Sir Winston Churchill Square. One of the signature annual sporting events in Canada is the CFL's epic Grey Cup. Renowned for its great celebrations and events, that year's Grey Cup festivities were hosted by the city of Edmonton. As a special addition that year - a zipline was featured in downtown Edmonton! All part of the great events which lead up to the classic game.
