Since February 7, 2007 the Canadians have been owned by a local ownership group, Vancouver Professional Baseball Partnership, who intend to keep the team in Vancouver and initiate extensive upgrades to Nat Bailey Stadium. The stadium will be restored to a state similar to when it opened in 1951 with murals and trees adorning the outside, in addition to modernization improvements to the rest of the stadium. The Canadians are the lone Major League Baseball-affiliated minor league team in Canada since 2007, as the Ottawa Lynx moved to Allentown, Pennsylvania.
