RETURN TO SPORT
Baseball Ontario has joined forces with 6 other outdoor Ontario Provincial Sport Organizations and 2 regional sport groups to petition the government to #letusplay!

We've been posting our letters to government officials as well as recent news coverage on our website, in addition to sharing on our social media channels. Our most recent letter was sent today, and Ed Quinlan had the opportunity to speak with Bill Kelly on his radio show this morning!
While we continue to fight the good fight, we remind everyone that the provincial laws must be followed, and our suspension of in-person baseball activities remains in force. Please continue to abide by the laws and rules in place, and be respectful when communicating your position on return to sport.
June 2nd is #LouGehrigDay
Today is #LouGehrigDay
ALS varies greatly from one person to another. ALS research investment is essential to understand and change the realities of the disease. Thanks to @baseballcanada
for raising awareness of this need on #LouGehrigDay.

Celebrate an athlete in your Challenger Baseball program by nominating them to become a member of the Challenger Baseball Youth Advisory Committee (YAC). This opportunity is a leadership experience that brings together youth from across the country who are passionate about making a difference for youth and adults living with cognitive and/or physical disabilities through opportunities like Challenger Baseball.
