Ottawa BlackJacks Renew Partnership with Lady Dive Tours for the 2023 Season

May 28, 2023

The Ottawa BlackJacks of the Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) announced Sunday the renewal of their partnership with Lady Dive Tours, who becomes the Premier Transportation Partner of the 2023 Ottawa BlackJacks season. 


Lady Dive Tours will once again play a major role with the team this year, helping the BlackJacks travel to road games in Montreal, Scarborough, Niagara, and Brampton, as well as providing trips to practices at Collège La Cité, and games at the Arena at TD Place. 


Earlier today, as the team was headed to Montreal for the first road trip of the season, the BlackJacks were presented with their official 2023 team bus, provided by Lady Dive Tours. “The Capital” tagline on the bus represents the BlackJacks’ pride in representing the nation’s capital and bringing the community together to celebrate the diversity and accessibility of the game of basketball in Ottawa-Gatineau.


 Lady Dive Tours has been running bilingual sightseeing tours of the Ottawa-Gatineau area for over twenty years. From May to October, BlackJacks fans are likely to see their distinctive red buses starting their tours near Parliament Hill. From the riverside, people might spot their Amphibus captains expertly navigating the Ottawa River. 


Lady Dive Tours aspire to offer the most comprehensive overview of the unique historical, political, and cultural context of Canada’s Capital. Their open-top double-decker tours reach as far as Dow’s Lake, the site of the famous annual Canadian Tulip Festival; the Prime Minister’s Residence; various embassies; restaurants; and seven of Canada’s nine national museums. Additionally, Lady Dive Tours pride themselves on being one of only two companies in Canada to offer Amphibuses: buses that can traverse land and water.

“The safety, comfort, and peace of mind of our players when traveling is invaluable. The partnership with Lady Dive Tours elevated our players experience and provided our team with a premier transportation experience throughout the season last year. Not only do the players enjoy having their own team bus, but they also have a great time visiting our beautiful Capital on the Lady Dive Tours Double Decker. We’re looking forward to continuing this successful partnership this summer.”

“We are ecstatic about our renewed partnership with the Ottawa BlackJacks and the opportunities they offer us. It warms our hearts to see how proud the team is to have a custom-made bus, and we are certain that our services will bring them comfort on the road. With the mutual promos we have planned for the season, we hope to encourage fans to support the team on the court and join us for our double-decker or Amphibus tours. We look forward to standing side-by-side with the team and their management in their chase for a championship.”
