WOAA COMMUNITY SPORTS BUILDERS


The WOAA Community Sports Builders program was established as part of the WOAA 75th Anniversary proceedings to recognize volunteers who have served a minimum of 20 years in promoting, organizing, and maintaining hockey, softball, and baseball in WOAA communities.  All Sports Builders were nominated by their local communities and a full description of each of these dedicated people and the work they have done in their community is included in the WOAA 75th Anniversary History Book.
