Football-shaped donuts made fresh for fans on home game days
OAKVILLE, ON, July 7, 2011 /CNW/ - Canadian football is back and this season BC Lions fans can start a new tradition on home game days by picking up the BC Lions Supreme donut from participating Tim Hortons restaurants in Vancouver and surrounding area.
