BC's young athletes are having quite the summer!

Not only did Team BC capture the Western Canada Summer Games trophy last weekend for the 10th year in a row, but two BC ball clubs have been representing Canada this week at their respective world championships:

• The Layritz Little League junior softball squad represented Canada at the 2011 Junior League Softball World Series (littleleague.org) in Kirkland, Washington this week.
