Throughout the afternoon and into Friday evening, the AQI was recorded at 10-plus, or extreme risk.

According to the Riders, tickets purchased for Friday's game will be valid for Saturday afternoon's game. 'More details will be sent via email,' the Riders said. 'Once again, we are thankful for your passion for our club and that you have stuck out with us all evening.' Saskatchewan headed into Week 6 of the season atop the West Division with a 4-0 record, but Calgary may be their toughest challenge yet. The Stampeders (3-1) sits second place in the division, just two points back of the Riders in first. The winner of the game will earn the top spot in the division headed into Week 7. - With files from Drew Postey.
