wannaplay

Almost every Canadian has warm memories of going shopping at Canadian Tire for new sports gear.  Canadian Tire has been inspiring Canadians to get active for decades.

Remember the good ole’ days being a kid and just being outside playing?
We didn’t have play dates at fancy kids gyms.
We made our own games up and improvised.
We didn’t have tablets and texting.
When we wanted to play with our friends, we would walk up to their door ball in hand, and ask “do you wanna play?”
Before you know it, you’d have your troop of friends and a pick up game going in no time!
Canadian Tire’s new playful #WannaPlay campaign is taking play back.  Back to the days of unstructured play, the type of play that builds confidence and character.

Their aim?
To inspire kids to play.
