Baseball League Joins Reconciliation Efforts

The North Central Alberta Baseball League signed an historic agreement with the Goodfish Lake First Nation last Saturday in St. Albert, Alberta.  The agreement will see the NCABL participate in a Baseball Showcase Event in conjunction with the 150th anniversary of the signing of  Treaty 8.  Baseball has largely replaced the sport of lacrosse among indigenous youth since the signing of Treaty 8, which is why the game of summer has established strong roots among our first nation people.  The NCABL has long partnered with our friends from Alexander and Alexis and that friendship has only strengthened the ongoing desire to share the diamond with yet another group seeking ways to better understand and appreciate one another. Having received an invitation to participate in the festivities commemorating the Treaty 8 signing, the NCABL did not hesitate to extend its hand in friendship.  The Baseball Showcase will feature five NCABL clubs along with local indigenous clubs from the St. Paul and Lac la Biche area with a focus on athletes from Goodfish Lake.  The Baseball Showcase will run on Saturday and Sunday, July 4th and 5th.

The North Central Alberta Baseball League Senior AA has been running since 1968.
