Montreal’s Olympic Stadium Receives $40 Million for Repairs and Decontamination After Fire

The Quebec government has allocated up to $40 million to the organization managing Montreal’s Olympic Stadium for necessary repairs and decontamination following a significant fire that occurred on March 21st. Extensive decontamination efforts are required, primarily in the stadium’s tower, where smoke permeated throughout the building. Approximately nine kilometers of ventilation ducts and offices within the tower need to be thoroughly cleaned. The stadium’s tower and an adjacent sports complex, which were closed due to the fire, are projected to resume operations in late summer or early fall. The investigation into the fire, which originated at the base of the stadium’s tower, remains ongoing by Montreal police. In February, the Quebec government had committed around $870 million for replacing the stadium’s roof.
