OTTAWA, ON - Baseball Canada’s Fall Convention is not only meetings, it is also an adventure.  Each year, the host city of the convention tries to put its own flavour to the annual assembly.

This year, the city of Edmonton will host the baseball delegates from across the country from November 8-11 and Baseball Alberta’s Executive Director, Bob Cardinal expects the weekend to be a success.

“We’re geared up and we’re on track, let’s put it that way,” says Cardinal from Edmonton.

Many special events are planned for this year’s convention.  Among those is the “Be Seen in Your Jeans” event which is a rodeo to benefit the search for a cure for breast cancer.

“We are working in conjunction with the Canadian Rodeo Finals,” explains Cardinal.  “We have a private party room and tickets for the evening where there will be seven different rodeo events and we may have a surprise visit.”

The meetings scheduled at the convention will always be the focus of the weekend, but Cardinal wants the delegates to leave Edmonton having experienced something unique.

“We want to put a western twist to it and give everyone an opportunity to learn more about Edmonton and Alberta.  Everyone who has hosted has put their own way of introducing their own program and we’re just happy to have that opportunity.”
