Montreal Likely To Remain Site Of WADA HQ After Current Deal

WADA's HQ is "one step closer to staying in Montreal after negotiations in Paris last weekend." Senior Montreal Cabinet Minister Marc Garneau said that WADA has "agreed to renegotiate its current deal with Montreal to keep the organization's head office in the city." Garneau said that WADA's 12-member executive committee yesterday decided "not to hold a bidding process for a new host city after its deal with Montreal ends" in '21. However, "there's no guarantee for Montreal yet," as the final decision will be "made by the 38-member WADA foundation board in Seoul this November" (GLOBE & MAIL, 9/25).
