Jim Lawson has announced that he will retire from the CFL at the end of this season.
Lawson received the Commissioner’s Award from Randy Ambrosie during the league’s awards banquet. The honour is given annually in recognition of dedication and significant contribution to Canadian football.
Lawson’s decision will allow the 61-year-old Hamilton native to concentrate full-time on his duties as chief executive officer of Woodbine Entertainment Group, Canada’s largest racetrack operator. He assumed that post in 2015 after spending three years as chair.
