Brian Ramsay

During the 2019 collective bargaining, directives reflected steadfast confidence from the membership in a strong strike mandate and just as impressive support from players upon ratifying the contract.

The resolve of the membership proved to be impactful as historical gains were seen, including increased player safety and rehabilitation, revenue sharing, and forms of guaranteed contracts.

Also of note was the development of a mental health and substance abuse program, multiple increases to the minimum player salary, and a change that sees the agreement expiring one month before the 2028 training camp period.

Ramsay has been a strong advocate for player health and safety and legislative changes to be made provincially to workers' compensation regulations across Canada.

Pillars of the Academy include; education (Oregon State, Athabasca University, Saskatchewan Polytechnic), career counselling, transition opportunities, and health & wellness.

Ramsay played offensive line in 152 CFL games over a nine-year career with the Toronto Argonauts, Hamilton Tiger-Cats, and Edmonton Elks.
