A special ceremony is planned for Saturday morning at City Park.
One of the Ugandan coaches, Coach George, as well as a few players from the African country will be on hand prior to Langley Baseball’s game at noon. The ceremony is at 11:30 a.m.
It is being organized as part of the Pearl of Africa Series.
In 2011, the Langley All-Stars were set to face Uganda in the Little League World Series, but the African team was denied visas to enter the United States.
This prompted Vancouver’s Ruth Hoffman to organize a trip through Right to Play that saw the Langley baseball team visit Uganda to play the Ugandan team in an exhibition series in 2012.
The Langley baseball players were presented with the Governor General’s Caring Canadian Award in 2013.
