Baseball  Ontario  considers  safety  a  core  value  of  our  organization,  and  as  such  we  continue  to  monitor  the  evolving impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID‐19). While the situation regarding COVID 19 is fluid, 
Baseball Ontario has implemented the following precautionary  measures:

In Person Baseball Activities Effective  11:59  pm  on  March  15,  2020,  Baseball  Ontario  has  suspended  all  in  person  baseball  activities indefinitely. 

This suspension will remain in place at least through April 3, 2020.  Baseball Ontario will advise  when it has lifted the suspension.
