AGCO recommends cancelling Ontario races when air quality reaches high-risk levels
Source: AGCO (Ontario)
Ontario’s Alcohol and Gaming Commission (AGCO) recommended on 15 July 2026 that racetracks cancel upcoming workouts, qualifiers and races when the air quality health index is in the 7–10 high-risk range. The commission cited an Environment Canada special air quality statement covering parts of Ontario, where wildfire smoke had caused high pollution levels, and said it would continue monitoring conditions.
The recommendation affects whether Ontario racetracks hold workouts, qualifiers and races during high-risk air-quality conditions.
