An overgrown baseball diamond on a First Nation south of Edmonton will be getting a makeover thanks to the Toronto Blue Jays.
The Blue Jays in part with MLB’s Jays Care Foundation will be contributing more than $240,000 to replace the Louis Bull Tribe’s field in Maskwacis.
The new diamond will be built on the site of the current one, which is unused and in need of renovation. Trevor Larocque is the Director of Infrastructure with the Louis Bull Tribe and put together the application accepted by the Blue Jays, making Maskwacis the only Alberta community to receive funding this year from the charitable arm of Canada’s only big-league baseball squad.
Jays Care said the Louis Bull Tribe’s successful application touched on many key elements and hopes to see the game of baseball grow in the community.
