Revisit that vision board because CIBC is setting out to champion ambitions, and you could be next. 🏆

As a proud founding partner of the Toronto Tempo, CIBC is celebrating by teaming up with The GIST to spotlight the changemakers who’ve been changing the game on and off the court.

Because every ambition is unique, this program is about championing changemakers and helping turn their goals, big or small, into reality — and we want to hear from you.

  • Whether you want to level up your coaching certification, buy new jerseys for the whole squad, hit the road for a pro game, or something else entirely, this is the opportunity for you.

Tell us: What’s your unique ambition, and how would you use a $5K grand prize to make it a reality? ✨

What's in it for you?
