WINNIPEG \u2014 The CFL says air quality is improving in Winnipeg for a game between the Blue Bombers and Toronto Argonauts.<\/p>\n
Forest fire smoke from northern Saskatchewan and Manitoba has drifted into the Manitoba capital. Winnipeg\u2019s Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) was at 10-plus \u2014 or very high risk \u2014 in the morning.<\/p>\n
The game at Princess Auto Stadium was still a go for 7:30 p.m., the CFL said in an afternoon update on X, formerly Twitter, and that air quality had improved to seven.<\/p>\n
The CFL and Players’ Association policy states air quality must be seven or below to warm up and play.<\/p>\n
The CFL says all stadiums are equipped with real-time, air-quality monitoring systems<\/p>\n
Poor air quality in Regina forced the Calgary Stampeders and Saskatchewan Roughriders to postpone their July 13 game to the following afternoon.<\/p>\n
