The Toronto Tempo is gearing up for its WNBA debut with a lively community event called Tempo Live. Over the weekend, fans celebrated the team's arrival through merchandise sales, on-court activities, and discussions promoting inclusivity in the sports world. Notable attendees, including Tempo President Teresa Resch and co-owner Lilly Singh, expressed their enthusiasm for women's sports in Toronto. Panels addressed the intersections of basketball with fashion, food, and art, showcasing local talent and empowering women in traditionally male-dominated spaces. Despite weather challenges, the event united the community and amplified excitement for the new franchise.
Local artists had stations around Stackt Market where they were working on pieces live for fans to watch.
A traditionally male space, everyone on the panel had a unique perspective on how we can not only include women in the world, but also empower them to have the confidence to take it as their own.
Governor Teresa Resch was joined by newly announced co-owner and 'Chief Hype Officer' Lilly Singh, Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow, and Toronto Deputy Mayor Ausma Malik.
Tempo Live, a multi-day activation designed to bring the community together, introduce the city to the team, and get fans excited, seemed to be a huge success.
