Baseball Canada announces investment to strengthen baseball across Canada
New national membership fee will support the long-term health and development of the sport
OTTAWA – Baseball Canada’s Board of Directors has approved a $10 annual national membership fee, effective for the 2027-2028 fiscal year, to strengthen programs and services supporting the delivery and development of baseball across the country.
With Baseball Canada’s membership fee unchanged for more than a decade, coupled with nearly 38% growth in membership since 2022, the investment will provide additional resources to support the national federation, provincial organizations and the programs they deliver in partnership across Canada.
The work leading to the adjustment began at the Baseball Canada Fall Convention in 2024, where Baseball Canada and its provincial partners discussed the evolving needs and priorities of the sport. Subsequent consultation, priority setting, financial analysis and working group recommendations helped shape an approach focused on addressing shared needs across the Canadian baseball system.
The membership fee will support national initiatives, including:
Grassroots programming such as Rally Cap and Baseball5
Women’s and girls’ baseball
Coach education
Officials and umpire development
National Championships
Additional resources to support the delivery of national programs and services
Dedicated subsidies will also help reduce financial barriers to coach education and assist teams with the cost of travelling to Baseball Canada National Championships.
