Every item below links to its source. Labels show where a claim comes from — the outlet, an event listing, or the organisation's own release.

David Finlay appeared as the guest with host Tim on Morning Live, as tournament organiser, talking about the 2nd annual festival and tournament at T.B. McQuesten Park on July 29 and 30 — sponsored by Team Nike Canada and fundraising for KidSport Ontario.
He spoke about how basketball kept him out of trouble growing up, and how that inspired him to do more for youth and community.
The 2024 championship was broadcast on Cable 14, with a new episode every Monday for 6 weeks starting July 1, 2024, according to the organisation's own press release.
