The Ontario Blue Jays Billeting Program helps young men willing to move to the Mississauga and Greater Toronto Area who will be in need of a home away from home. It takes special people to open their homes to our players and we are incredibly appreciative of the care that they provide our team with. Our billeting program plays a significant role in not only the continued success of the program but the development of talented, driven and goal-oriented young men who wish to achieve the most they can in academics, baseball and beyond.
We have open our OBJ doors to players wishing to move away from home and we want them to feel all the comforts that they normally would back home. Be it home cooked meals, a clean home, or even just care for their well-being, our players are very appreciative of everything our billets do for them.
The Ontario Blue Jays are looking for enthusiastic billet families who are willing to open their homes to these young men living away from home as they continue to push forward towards their goals and dreams!
