TrojanOne Team Celebrates Jersey Day

Last week in preparation for Sports Day in Canada, the T1 Toronto team took part in Jersey Day by wearing their favourite teams’ jerseys to the office. Sports Day, held on September 17, promoted the advantages of healthy living by encouraging Canadians to participate in various sporting events throughout the country. CBC Sports, ParticipACTION and True Sport sponsored the national event, now in its second year.

The goal of Jersey Day was to not only raise awareness of Sports Day, but to demonstrate the ability of sport to foster team spirit and dynamics. There was a palpable excitement in the air as the T1 team jokingly debated about rival teams and also prepared to indulge in a little sporting action with a company-wide outing to the Blue Jays vs. New York Yankees game.

T1’s Toronto office members were not the only ones to get in on the excitement; T1’s office in Vancouver also participated in Jersey Day and took to the streets of Yaletown to show their team spirit.

“Sports have an awesome ability to bring people together and both encourage teamwork and boost morale,” said Justin Orfus, TrojanOne senior manager, recruitment. “It was great seeing everyone in the office supporting their teams and then going to the Jays game together. I know participating in Jersey Day definitely got everyone in the spirit and excited for Sports Day.”
