We are honored to work with and learn from communities all across these unceded lands throughout Canada.
In May of this year the Jays helped upgrade and build a new baseball diamond for the community of Curve Lake First Nation reserve in Ontario's Kawartha district. the Jays' charity contributed $100,000 towards improving the Mary Dorothy Jacobs Memorial Park's diamond.
