The group from the Recreation and Parks Association of Nunavut was honoured with a shout-out on the video board in front of more than 41,000 fans. For the first time, the association brought a group of youth from Nunavut to Toronto for a series of training workshops organized by the Jays Care Foundation. The foundation is a partner of the Recreation and Parks Association of Nunavut, and has provided funding to support programs and build ballparks in communities across the territory.
