TORONTO — Due to air quality concerns, the Canadian Football League (CFL) game between the Calgary Stampeders and the Saskatchewan Roughriders on July 11 has been postponed to Saturday, July 12 at 2 p.m. local/4 p.m. ET.
The decision was made by the CFL League Office, the competing teams and the CFL Players’ Association.
The game was originally scheduled to kick off at 7 p.m. local/9 p.m. ET, before being delayed.
In order for players to take the field, the Air Quality Health Index (AQHI+) must be seven or below. The index failed to reach the threshold needed to safely commence the game.

I’m glad they made the call - I’m certain the same thing would have happened had there been a game in Winnipeg this week.
