As part of its Olympic efforts, Canadian Tire released an advertising campaign that focuses on the importance of community support behind Canadian athletes. \'Tap\' features Canadian Tire partners Wayne Gretzky, Jonathan Toews, Connor McDavid, Hayley Wickenheiser and Rick Hansen. Inspired by the simple tapping of a stick, the traditional sign of respect, admiration and sportsmanship shown by hockey players, the ad demonstrates the support of all Canadians coming together for one common purpose.
