WESA NAMED iPRIDE MEMBER CITY / ASSOCIATION OF THE YEAR 🏆
30 August 2026

The West End Slo-pitch Association has been named the 2026 iPride Member Association of the Year, recognizing WESA’s contributions to International Pride Softball and the broader LGBT+ softball community.

This is a significant honour for our league, recognizing the dedication, leadership, and impact of our members and the community we have built together.

But, ultimately, this award belongs to the volunteers who make WESA happen season after season, year after year.

It belongs to the coaches who step onto the field ready to teach and encourage. The scorekeepers who keep our games running. The event and tournament volunteers who turn ideas into experiences. The Commissioners who take on the responsibility of leading the league. And the many members who simply see something that needs doing and raise their hands to help.

They are the people who have built WESA.

For nearly five decades, generations of volunteers have given their time, energy, ideas, and heart to creating a place where members can learn, play, compete, volunteer, make friendships, and belong.

Being recognized by our peers across the international Pride softball community is an extraordinary honour. It is also a recognition of what can happen when a community keeps showing up for one another.

To every WESA volunteer, past and present: this award is yours.
