Welcome back to our second edition of Tidal Talk, where I’ll take you through what the Tides were up to in September and share our enthusiasm for what’s coming up in October. We’ve been proud to make waves in our community, and I can’t thank you enough for being part of this journey with us.
We kicked things off at the ADSUM Females Fore Females Golf Day, where our marketing and business development team went out to support women, gender-diverse people and families in our community.
We also joined the Motionball’s Marathon of Sport to support the Special Olympics, celebrating inclusivity and the joy of sport. The energy was electric, and it reminded us all just how vital community connections are.
We were thrilled to cheer on all the participants at the Citadel 7 Soccer 35+ Tournament, where we hosted a merchandise pop-up. Witnessing the passion for soccer across all ages inspires us to keep pushing forward for more pathways in sport.
September was also a pivotal month for our team building as we hired our new Brand Creative, Nicolas Takushi. As we prepare for our inaugural season, our team will continue to grow. The next position that we are hiring for is our Ticketing and Group Sales Specialist. So if you are looking to join an incredible team, feel free to drop us your resume!
On the operations side, our Business Development Manager, Ally Pedvis, has been busy securing sponsorships for the 2025 season. If you’re looking to elevate your brand and connect with our Tides community, reach out to Ally at ally.pedvis@tidesfc.ca.
In merchandise news, Harish, our Chief Business Officer, has been curating a fantastic selection of gear for you to shop this Fall! You’ll notice that we’ve launched our new cozy Tides FC toques to keep you warm as we approach the cooler winter months. Gray Tides FC toque Halifax Tides FC 40 Oz.
