The Board has now worked through the plan to secure diamonds for 2027, as outlined at our Spring Meeting, either in Brampton, Mississauga or Toronto.

In discussion with the City of Mississauga, we have reached an agreement to move our start times from 9:45 am to 11:00 am both Monday and Wednesday for the 2027 season and beyond.

This provides us with continued great pricing, use of their equipment locker and a central location for players coming from across the GTA.

In discussions with the City of Toronto, our cost would double, there is no equipment storage and very little leverage on either of these items as they require 90% of players be from Toronto.

Brampton was not an option with more than double what we pay with Mississauga, no equipment and responsibility to arrange for our own insurance.

We hope you continue to enjoy the rest of the season and will join us next year!

Regards

Your ESSA Board
