Lethbridge-hosted Junior Canadian Little League Championship cancelled
LETHBRIDGE, AB – This summer’s Junior Canadian Little League Championship has officially been cancelled.
The tournament was scheduled to take place in Lethbridge from July 31-August 9.
The cancellation announcement comes after Little League International (LLI) stated that the Little League World Series and all regional tournaments had been scrapped due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“After a thorough assessment of the impact the devastating COVID-19 pandemic has had on 6,500 community-based Little League programs in 84 countries and based upon the direction of government and public health authorities, and in consultation with medical professionals and our Board of Directors, Little League International has made the difficult and disappointing decision to cancel its seven World Series tournament and their respective regional qualifying events,” read an LLI statement.
