MESSAGE FROM BASEBALL CANADA

The crack of the bat, the smell of fresh cut grass, a beautiful summer day spent with family, friends, and teammates are some of the things that make baseball unique to thousands of Canadians each year. Whether you’re a coach, official, volunteer, fan, or player, Baseball Canada is committed to maintaining and enhancing all of the things that make baseball special for you.

With this in mind, we’re pleased to unveil Baseball Canada’s Strategic Plan for 2023-2028, a plan that will shape our organization in the coming years and act as a guide to our vision of “CANADA IS A LEADING BASEBALL NATION.”

Coming out of years of uncertainty around the globe and into our homes, it has been amazing to see the efforts of people and communities who have worked together to make sure that baseball was delivered in a quality and safe environment. These efforts have not gone unnoticed and will be significant building blocks as we embark on a new era in Canadian baseball.

Baseball Canada’s newest strategic plan was built with people and communities at the forefront who will play a large role in our goal of growing the game in Canada. Through a revised model, Baseball Canada is committed to a modern governance structure that will allow diversifying decision making and lead baseball in Canada to new and exciting opportunities.

Our hope is that this Strategic Plan becomes more than just a document that lives on our website but rather a reference material that those in the Canadian baseball community can use to benefit their organizations and communities.

We’re extremely proud of the hard work and collaboration from those at the national, provincial, and local levels who helped build this plan from the beginning to the finished product. Ultimately, it will be through efforts like these that will aid in delivering on the goals of this plan and making baseball in Canada more accessible, diverse, and better than it’s ever been before.

Play ball!
