“We are pleased to once again partner with the Detroit Tigers for their Canadian Heritage Game Night,” said Kim Willis, Director of Communications and Mental Health Promotion for CMHA-WECB.
Each ticket purchased comes with an exclusive commemorative baseball cap that serves as a symbol of unity and shared love of the game.

“This annual tradition brings joy to hundreds in our community and the game against the Blue Jays only increases the excitement,” Willis said.
The CMHA notes that one in five Canadians will be affected by mental health during their lifetime, suggesting that the importance of advocacy and support cannot be overstated.
Willis said the event has been taking place since 2017 and is intended to provide an unforgettable evening of baseball, camaraderie and giving back to a cause that truly matters.
