U18 Baseball World Cup

This year we had the pleasure to have the National Italian Baseball team for the U18 Baseball world cup in Thunder Bay. Our society together with DaVinci Society and the CIBPA invited all the players management, coaches and family of the players for dinner one evening at the Italian Cultural Centre, one evening at the DaVinci Centre and one day at Whitewater golf course. We also welcomed them the night that they arrived at the airport with Italian flags. All the management, coaches, players and the Italian media reporters that travelled with the team were deeply moved by the speeches, and the warm hospitality that they received in Thunder Bay. They enjoyed the delicious food that we prepared for them.
The society also donate food to the local volunteers of the baseball world cup
