A Parc olympique spokesman says extensive decontamination work is needed in the stadium’s tower because smoke spread throughout the building
The Quebec government has awarded the organization that manages Montreal's Olympic Stadium up to $40 million to pay for repairs and decontamination after a March 21 fire.
Montreal's Olympic Park was home to a fire less than two weeks ago and Swimming Canada hopes to stay in the Montreal area for Trials.
Olympic Park remains inaccessible until at least April 2, and officials indicated it could be a gradual reopening due to significant water and smoke damage.
In addition to repairing the 20-odd thousand holes in the Olympic Stadium roof and the 450-metre concrete ring along the roofline of the Big O, the Montreal Olympic Park Esplanade is also in dire need of repair.
