For immediate release

Saanich, BC – In just one week, Canada’s best young baseball talent will descend on Saanich for the 2025 Canadian Little League Championship – will we see you there?

The Championship is hosted by Layritz Little League, which has been offering fantastic baseball and softball programming in the community since 1958. Fans and spectators are invited to watch these teams compete for the national title at Saanich’s Layritz Park, which in recent years has seen various upgrades in anticipation of the event. Originally scheduled for 2020, it was cancelled due to COVID.

“What a thrill to finally welcome players, their families and baseball fans of all ages to Saanich for this exciting national event,” says Saanich Mayor Dean Murdock. “Hosting a tournament of this calibre is a big deal for our community, and I want to thank Layritz Little League for the tremendous amount of time and energy they have put into making it a success. I’ll be cheering on our host team!”

"This tournament has been years in the making, and we couldn’t be more excited to finally welcome the nation to Layritz,” says Graham Plumb, President of Layritz Little League. “It’s an incredible honour for our club and community to host Canada’s top young athletes, and we’re proud to showcase the spirit of baseball and the hospitality that makes Saanich such a special place"  

The tournament runs from July 29 - August 7, 2025 and games take place at 10:30 a.m., 2:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. each day. Tickets are not required, and there is plenty of seating available.
