REGISTER: Baseball Canada 2020 Virtual Fall Meetings!

OTTAWA – Baseball Canada is pleased to announce that we’re are taking our annual Fall Meetings online in 2020 with the goal of benefitting the entire Canadian baseball community!

“Together Towards Tomorrow” is a free, virtual event on November 19 and 20 that will feature subject-matter experts presenting on topics that will resonate with local, provincial and national levels of baseball in Canada.

The event will take place using the Zoom platform and simultaneous translation services will be provided.

The 2020 baseball season provided challenges that our sport had never experienced before. Our intention for these sessions is to inform, inspire and prepare you for the 2021 baseball season. These short sessions (20 minutes each) are intended for provincial office staff, local baseball associations including volunteers, coaches, umpires and any other interested parties from the Canadian baseball community.
