"We're so proud of our multi-year partnership with the NBA that includes community-led events for youth, basketball clinics and more premium promotions to excite and engage basketball fans across Canada."
This partnership began in September 2018 and also makes Tangerine an official partner of the NBA Canada Series presented by Bell, which included Community Gym basketball clinics in Vancouver and Montreal.
