The trials, which serve as the selection meet for the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris, were originally scheduled for May 13 to 19 at the Olympic pool. However, due to a fire outside the Olympic Stadium on March 21, the athletic sports complex at the Institut national du sport du Quebec (INS Quebec) will remain closed for four to six months.

However, the Olympic Park announced Wednesday that the athletic sports complex at the Institut national du sport du Quebec would remain closed for four to six months due to a fire outside the Olympic Stadium on March 21. "We are working hard on contingency plans to hold the event in Montreal on the scheduled dates of May 13-19."
Although the fire caused no injuries, the Olympic Park said there was significant damage to the tower due to the infiltration of smoke and water from firefighters trying to extinguish the fire.Other federations have also been affected and needed to find new places for athletes to continue preparing for the Games. Judo Canada quickly moved its training to the Ippon judo club in Montreal.
