Major League Baseball’s Toronto Blue Jays charitable foundation, Jays Care, has announced a total of $1.5 million in investments in 14 ball fields across Canada with Kinkora being one of them.
The Duffy Baseball Field in Kinkora will receive a $68,000 donation from the Jays Care Foundation which will allow the aged ball field to make some needed improvements including expanding their infield, reseeding the outfield, new bleachers, and fencing repairs. Expanding the infield will make it suitable for up to U15 to play the field making it more accessible to children in the area.
Tina Harvey, CAO of the Rural Municipality of Kinkora said the goal is to have the upgrades to the field completed in time for a grand re-opening in September.
