Time to open sandlot diamonds in Ontario

By Baseball Ontario

The government announcement on May 20th that allows us to slowly return to play was both welcome and extremely disappointing.

Baseball Ontario is not satisfied with the approach taken for outdoor team sports, and we will continue to lobby the government for changes to the regulations impacting us.

We will host a meeting of other outdoor team sports leaders with the goal to find a way to collectively move the needle on this important issue.

We strongly believe that we should be on the diamonds now, as part of Step 1, like they have done in British Columbia and Saskatchewan in their re-opening plans.

We will continue to aggressively petition the Government for a return to baseball. Have your say as well by reaching out to your local MPP.
