The World Baseball Challenge got some needed moral support from the City of Prince George, this week. Mayor and council was asked to provide two letters of support for the international baseball event held every two years in Prince George, the first being in 2009 and the next coming up in 2011. One letter was for a grant application for the Northern Development Initiative Trust, and the other was for general purposes as the event's organizers attempt to build on their 2009 achievements. "I am very much enamoured with the possibilities of this going ahead again in 2011," said councillor Dave Wilbur, and asked organizers to disclose what the estimated economic spinoff was from the inaugural tournament.
