Baseball Canada presents Strategic Plan document

Thursday, February 25, 2010

OTTAWA – Baseball Canada has unveiled its draft document for the new Strategic Plan that will encompass the Federation’s strategies for 2010 until 2014.

The purpose of this strategic planning document is to articulate for all members of Baseball Canada a common vision to develop the sport of baseball throughout our country. Adoption of this plan will help to guide all Baseball Canada decision making processes for the next five years.

The plan was originally conceived during the Baseball Canada Board meeting in November 2007. After several meetings, drafts and reviews, Baseball Canada has come up with the following document: Baseball Canada Strategic Planning Document 2010-2014.

Baseball Canada asks for all members of Baseball Canada to review the document and supply your feedback by completing the following survey: Strategic Planning Document Questionnaire.

The Baseball Canada Planning Committee will review all the comments submitted through the questionnaire and will revise the document in order to submit a final manuscript for adoption by the Baseball Canada Board at the Annual General Meeting in June.

Player of the Week

Tanner (NB )

Week of July 12, 2010:

Tanner is a Rally Cap veteran who comes to practice everyday with a smile on his face. He is working on his Blue and Red Hats this season.Tanner is excelling at fielding this year, his crocodile technique is flawless and he does the "Catch an Egg" drill extremely well. His favorite team is the Boston Red Sox and his favorite pre-game meal is KD. Keep up the good work Tanner!

Tanner est un vétéran du programme « Rallye Cap » qui s'amène jour après jour aux séances d'entraînement avec un grand sourire accroché au visage. Depuis le début de la saison, il est passé du groupe des « casquettes bleues » à celui des « casquettes rouges ». Cette année, Tanner brille à capter des balles, et ce, en plaçant parfaitement ses mains en « bouche de crocodile »! Il réussit également fort bien au jeu de l'attrapé de l'oeuf. Tanner est un partisan inconditionnel des Red Sox de Boston et son repas d'avant match préféré est bien évidemment le “Kraft dinner”! Continu ton bon travail Tanner!
