Today marks the first of three trips to America Jr., our neighbor to the north. Vancouver is a very nice city, serving as the setting for many of the TV shows and movies you watch everyday. Back in the day the Canadian currency was worth approximately 1/3 less than the U.S. dollar, but as of July it was hovering around 94 cents to the dollar! Canada, you’ve come a long way.

The Vancouver Canadians (who aren’t going to win any awards for most creative team name) play their games at Nat Bailey Stadium, an older stadium built in the early 1950s that has undergone some upgrades that have made the park a good place to see a game. Tonight the Tour for the Cure did fundraising for the Canadian Cancer Society, and we were able to raise a decent amount of money for the cause. Thanks to Lori for helping the Tour for the Cure out tonight!

After the Ottawa Lynx move to Pennsylvania next year, the Canadians will be the only minor league team left in Canada.
