TORONTO – The Canadian Football League’s Department of Health, Safety and Integrity issued three fines stemming from Week 9 action, the league announced Thursday. The department oversees all non‑suspendible discipline, while suspendible offences fall under the Office of the Commissioner.

The disciplinary group — led by Chief Football Operations Officer Greg Dick and supported by Vice‑President of Officiating Darren Hackwood, Vice‑President of Football Operations and Player Safety Eric Noivo, and Associate Vice‑President of Football Operations Ryan Janzen — reviewed multiple incidents from the week’s slate of games.
