(B) Due to forest fires in the Kelowna area in August, a game between the Okanagan Sun and the South Fraser Rams was postponed and rescheduled for later in the season. The change in the schedule pushed the play-offs back one-week. This schedule change also cancelled the annual BCFC banquet and only allowed one week from the Cullen Cup game to the Canadian Bowl. Normally two weeks is scheduled prior to Canadian Bowl. (C) The league community service award named the Presidents Award was changed to the Ron White Award.

The Trojans because of this merger changed their name from Renfrew to the Vancouver Trojans. They also changed their pants colour to Silver to identify the Richmond colour of Silver. (B)*There was also a mix-up over game officials when the match between the Surrey Rams and the Vancouver Trojans was forfeited to the Rams when the game was switched and the game officials were not notified. The Trojans and the league could not decide who was responsible to notify the game officials. In the end the league ruled that the Trojans were indeed responsible to let the officials know of the game date switch and the game awarded to the Rams (1-0 score). (C) Ken Smith was named a Life Member of the CJFL.

Season Notes – (A) A Meraloma victory over Burnaby was protested to the league by Burnaby officials for a missed call by the game officials. There was a delay of game penalty against the Mountaineers on the final play of the game. The officials asked the Meralomas if they wanted to decline the penalty, which they did. The officials then ruled the game over. Burnaby protested that the game can’t end on a penalty. The league upheld the protest and no points were awarded to the Lomas. The game was ordered to be replayed only if it had a bearing on the play-offs. The game was not replayed. (B) – The Vancouver City council approved a $120.00 meal allowance for the Meraloma when they traveled to Edmonton for the Western Semi-Final. The money paid for one meal on route.

Suspension stemmed from incident in game against North Shore when the coach failed to remove his team from the field during a halftime show. He also instructed his players not to pass the ball in the second half and to go for the first down on all third downs rather than punt. It was felt that the Blue Bombers display was not very crowd-pleasing.
