Shared values. Shared vision.

We are delighted by the interest that Canadian Tire Corporation has expressed in the prospect of preserving, celebrating and promoting The World’s Oldest Basketball Court and Experience Centre. Clearly, our two organizations share many common values important to Canadians and a very positive perspective of our nation’s heritage and vision for its future.

As has been clear in our exchanges to date, this unique and exciting project has the potential to excite the imagination of Canadians from coast to coast - and many others across the globe who view Canada in such optimistic ways and have embraced basketball. In the pages that follow, we explore some specific features that respond to your request for further details on what we envision

We are confident that elements such as dedicated support for Youth at Risk, celebration of a national symbol of Canadian sport, and potential for sector exclusivity naming rights constitute a strong foundation on which to build a mutually advantageous partnership. We look forward with enthusiasm to continuing this rewarding conversation.

Sincerely,

Tom Liston

Media Coverage So Far.

Media attention about The World’s Oldest Basketball Court started to surface in late 2021 but took a sudden high jump when in the National print Edition of the Globe and Mail featured the project on Page 1 - and, with a full 2-page inside spread in Section 1 - late in January 2022.

At once the project had the attention of Canadians coast-to-cost and especially the fast growing number of basketball fans. The ball was in-motion and the media coverage expanded at a rapid pace and continues in print, broadcast and online.

Basketball’s popular SLAM Magazine also featured a 2-page spread in its June/July edition.

Court... I’m on the Board of Directors of Canada Basketball.

We’re looking for a central wing of the Basketball Hall of Fame... A physical wing on the West Coast and on the East Coast and I just think the World’s Oldest Basketball Court is a perfect fit for the Canada Basketball Hall of Fame.
