From CBC News:
The Senior Men’s National Fastpitch Championships kicked off Sunday in Charlottetown.
Ten teams from Atlantic Canada, Ontario and Quebec are here for the week-long tournament.
That translates to about 500 people in the city, said Wayne Long, the city’s events coordinator.
“This is an event that brings with it a good group of people with disposable income for a good length of stay,” said Long, adding that the economic impact could reach up to $500,000.
The city paid $15,000 to bring the tournament here.
The event is happening every day this week at the Central Field Complex located at Burns Avenue and North River Road.
The tournament wraps up with the championship game next Sunday.
