The Nuclear Waste Management Organization is joining the Township of Ignace in celebrating the return of youth minor baseball.
For six Thursdays this past summer, 18 children aged four to 12 learned how to play the sport.
Bradley Hammond is the Senior Manager, Strategic Communications with NWMO and he says they are thrilled to support such initiatives that bring the community together.
Hammond says “We know part of what we need to do is arrive at lasting and sound partnerships. We want to keep exploring partnership in the areas that we are active and figure out ways that we can work together, explore community well-being.”
The NWMO is providing support that will help with the purchase of game and safety equipment, as well as baseball jerseys for the 2020 spring season.
Ignace Minor Ball Coordinator Chelsey McNally says “Not only will baseball keep the children busy and active, and show them how to work well with others, but it will also provide free entertainment for the rest of the community.”
The not-for-profit group is already making plans to host another baseball tournament next year with a goal of having baseball open to all ages.
