JOINT STATEMENT WITH THE CFL ON THE AIR QUALITY POLICY

Third party organization to test air quality
 

TORONTO (September 7, 2023) – The Canadian Football League (CFL) and the CFL Players’ Association (CFLPA) have jointly released the following statement after a meeting to discuss their Air Quality Policy.

   After a productive meeting, we will maintain our existing Air Quality Policy. We have agreed to engage an independent third party organization to test air quality and provide measurements in real time.
​
​   The decision on whether to play – or to continue playing if a game is in progress – will be based solely on these air quality measurements.
​
​   Any measurement above an Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) reading of 7 will halt play.
