TORONTO — The CFL Players' Association says Occupational Health and Safety in Alberta is investigating the CFL's decision to play the Edmonton Elks-Calgary Stampeders game Monday despite smoky conditions in Calgary.
The Stampeders rallied from a 15-point deficit to defeat the Elks 35-31 at McMahon Stadium. The contest was played despite Environment Canada's Air Quality Health index for Calgary measuring between eight and 10 throughout the day.
In its submission to the CFL after the opening kickoff, the CFLPA stated air-quality levels in Calgary were hazardous and posed a threat to the health and safety of players on the field. It asked the league to delay the game until such time as those levels dropped to seven or below. Forest fire smoke drifted into Calgary overnight Saturday. Environment Canada's air quality index at kickoff Monday read nine out of 10, or"high risk."
"Before the Labour Day Classic in Calgary, beginning at noon, air quality readings were taken inside McMahon Stadium every 30 minutes until the conclusion of the game," said a CFL spokesman."Each of those readings was shared with the league office, the CFLPA and the two competing teams.
