Canadian delegation aims to keep World Anti-Doping Agency in Montreal
MONTREAL — A Canadian delegation heading to Europe will present a strong case for keeping the World Anti-Doping Agency headquarters in Montreal, federal and provincial cabinet ministers said Friday.
Transport Minister Marc Garneau along with Quebec International Relations Minister Christine St-Pierre and groups representing the city are all part of a delegation that is heading to Paris to meet with WADA’s executive committee over the weekend.
The delegation will make a presentation to the executive committee on Sunday.
That committee will recommend whether WADA should remain in Montreal beyond its current commitment, which ends in 2021.
