HALIFAX—The Canadian Football League’s commissioner will be in Halifax Friday, for what’s expected to be a morale booster to those hoping the city will gain a professional team. Randy Ambrosie issued a news release noting the league has made the Nova Scotia capital the sole non-franchise city on his national tour. He’ll be holding a public town hall in a large hotel ballroom in the city’s downtown at noon on Friday. The league has confirmed it has been in talks with a “professional, enthusiastic and impressive” group of prospective owners rallying for a Halifax franchise. ... All of our discussions have been around, how do you bring a team, a stadium and a development to a city like Halifax,” Bowser said during the television interview.
