Labour Day Classic at the Tim Hortons Field still unconfirmed

As practice continues for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats at the new Tim Hortons Field, it will likely be the end of the week before we know whether there will be a Labour Day Classic there.

In 1967, Bill Aaltink was a teen selling food and drinks in the stands of the original stadium.

He motors over to the site every couple days to check on construction progress.

Aaltink’s been eyeing the new wheelchair section and is somewhat disappointed that the elevators won’t be ready by Monday.

40 accessible spots have been set aside on a new patio on the north side for the interim.

He wouldn’t be able to get to the game if it is moved to Tuesday in Toronto.

At City Hall, the Pan Am committee was told that the builder is not 100% sure there will be a Labour Day game.

Infrastructure Ontario says it’s doing what it can.

The builder, Ontario Sports Solutions, says the key will be getting the city to grant an occupancy permit.

Inspectors will have a full day of safety testing on Thursday.
