Toronto will open its pre-season hosting the Montreal Alouettes on May 30. ET and will be a school day game with tickets being sold to students in Greater Toronto Area schools. “Providing an opportunity for kids to come to an Argos game, perhaps for the first time is a top priority for our organization,” Chris Shewfelt, Toronto’s vice-president of business operations, said in a statement. “The first time a child learns to throw a spiral is a special moment, we hope to enable that further in our community to many, many more kids.”The Argos called Varsity Stadium home from 1916-58. It’s also where Canadian sprinter Percy Williams set a world 100-metre record of 10.3 seconds during the Canadian track and field championships in 1930.
