Applications are now open for the 2022 Jays Care Foundation’s Field of Dreams program, which has invested more than $15 million across Canada over the past 10 years. The Foundation is the charitable arm of the Toronto Blue Jays Major League Baseball team.


Field Of Dreams is the granting program for infrastructure dedicated to youth life-skill development and physical activity. It provides funding to design, refurbish and build safe spaces for children and youth to play baseball, develop life skills and learn from positive role models.

In addition to what young people gain from the program, communities benefit by increasing access to baseball and accessible spaces and boosting local engagement and capacity for enrolment in youth programs.

Obituaries: Newfoundland Folk Artist Mark Hiscock, Country Music Trailblazer Johnny Rodriguez

This week we also acknowledge the passing of The Ponys drummer Nathan Jerde, English multi-instrumentalist and composer Jack Lancaster and noted Australian rock drummer James Baker.

Norman Mark Hiscock, an accordionist, vocalist and songwriter and a towering figure on the Newfoundland folk music scene as a member of Shanneyganock, died suddenly on May 6, at age 53.

A CBC obituary notes that "a lifelong musician based out of St. John's, Hiscock was a mainstay of Newfoundland and Labrador's musical landscape, and was a founding member of the well-known folk band Shanneyganock — known for tunes steeped in the province's long history of storytelling."
