Tim-Br Mart is a collection of privately owned building supply companies across the counrty. Here in the Atlantic region we have 24 members ranging from St. Johns to Edmunston. We are located in Musquodoboit Harbour and we have been doing business out of this location for the past 25 years. To sponsor an event as grand as the World Juniors is a big step for us and our goal to promote awareness of the Tim-Br Mart brand. We dont have the advertising budgets of the other major sponsors of the worlds so we bring our approach to a more grass roots level where we keep our people involved on a daily basis.
Enough of the history. Heres the real reason you are reading this email. Its about the kids.
We want to encourage minor hockey associations to get their teams involved. We are asking that these teams ages 7 to 17 show the true Canadian hockey spirit and at the same time do their best to cheer Canada on to gold again. We ask that this enthusium be put on video and that video be up-loaded to www.timbrtube.ca . Then the public will be asked to vote for the team they feel best shows the true Canadian hockey spirit. Obviously you can vote as many times as you like and I know I would have everyone in the community actively voting and soliciting support. This is an on line voting process so there is no texting cost to this method. The team with the most votes at the end of the promotional period , Nov 21st , wins a trip to Saskatchewan for up to 38 people including team members , coaches and parents. The trip is all return air-fare , hotel accomodations, meals and transportation to and from the games while there. If its a local team that wins this contest , it would have a value in excess of $75,000.00 .
We have some posters and signage here that could be used in your home arenas promoting the contest and encouraging the fans to vote. If you feel it would be beneficial we could do a presentation at one of your parent meetings.
The last time I checked out the web site there was only 1 enrty and that really was only a notification of entry. But the contest is just getting started. I would suggest that the early entries have the advantage of getting the early votes.
and I am sure this site will answer some of the questions I am sure you will have. If there is anything at all that we may be able to help with , please do not hesitate to call either myself or either of our in -store captains, Robert Bastien or Colette Boucher.
Once again I thank you for speaking with me last evening and for taking the time to read this email.
Good luck with your season and maybe I will see you in Sasketchewan.
