Sport Chek Launches #MyNorth Campaign in Support of Canadian Basketball!
In partnership with the Toronto Raptors, Sport Chek has launched the #MyNorth campaign, targeting the Canadian basketball community, by sharing authentic stories prominent within the hoops scene which you can now stream online for updates at Sport ONE.
“It is intended to be about the celebration and amplification of the rich basketball community in the GTA. We hope that the consumer shares their basketball experiences in a written story, video or photo through social media, even Buy instagram followers if they have the need to make their posts more popular” Shelley Girard, Sport Chek AVP of Marketing told North Pole Hoops.

The #MyNorth campaign will also make stops at club programs, including Triple Threat and CIA Bounce. At the pro level, Sport Chek will engage the Mississauga Power.
Girard stressed that Sport Chek wants to celebrate a rich basketball culture that is already in existence in the GTA.
“In order to do that we had to build this platform from the bottom up –coming into the communities, asking questions and learning about the culture.”
These basketball experiences are being shared through multiple platforms including inarena at Toronto Raptor games, social media, and television (TSN).
“It’s been inspiring to really have a dialogue and two-way conversation with the Toronto basketball community,” said Girard
