The Nelson Softball Association and the community of Nelson will take time to remember one of their own, by hosting the 5th Annual Robert Blacquier Memorial Tournament, June 20-22. As always Labbat�s, honouring an over 35 year relationship with the Nelson Softball Association, will sponsor this weekend sporting excitement.

Robert, who passed away suddenly five years ago, was very active in the community and was a former President of the Nelson Softball Association. Robert played and coached softball as well as actively participating in fundraising ventures which ensured the survival of the sport. Moreover, he was a member of four of the five host committees which brought the Canadian Nationals to the Miramichi. A carpenter by profession, Robert was instrumental in the construction of both the Gerald King and Merle Doyle Memorial Ball Fields.
