November 7th ‘Vancouver Canadians Day’

The City of Vancouver and Mayor Gregor Robertson welcomed Vancouver Canadians Baseball Club owners Jake Kerr and Jeff Mooney along with team President Andy Dunn and GM Jason Takefman to Vancouver.

The Canadians, fresh off a second straight Northwest League Championship, attended the ceremony that commemorated not only the team’s on-field successes, but also the efforts that have been put into our local community.

Mayor Robertson stated “The Vancouver Canadians Baseball Club is a vital part of the history and heritage of our city.”

Through its Foundation, the Canadians have enabled hundreds of young children to experience the character that being a part of a baseball team provides”.

The Vancouver Canadians Baseball Foundation was able to welcome more than 300 local children through The Boys & Girls Clubs of South Coast BC out to historic Scotiabank Field at Nat Bailey Stadium to play organized baseball, which for many of these children was their first venture into sport.

The Vancouver Canadians Baseball Club wishes to thank the City of Vancouver, Vancouver Park Board and all of its fans for helping make today’s announcement possible through their generous support.

A worthy thank you from City Hall and a class organization!!

Thanks to Rob Fai and the Canadian’s for the info and the photo.
