It is similar to a face-off in hockey, but since Canada invented both sports, we got our pick of the two and went with Jump Ball.<\/p>\n<p>In basketball, two opposing players attempt to gain control of the ball after an official tosses it into the air between them. While the 48 minutes of the game can be intense, all players are friends and colleagues off the court when the final whistle blows.<\/p>\n<p><i style=\"font-weight: 500;\">At Tech-Access Canada, we wanted to tap into that competitive but collegial spirit with the Jump Ball Initiative for the TACs. <\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row\" style=\"padding-top: 32px;\">\n<div class=\"col-lg-8 col-md-7 col-sm-12\">\n<div class=\"btn-group\" style=\"flex-wrap: wrap;\" role=\"group\" aria-label=\"Company\"><button class=\"btn btn-light\" disabled=\"disabled\" type=\"button\">I am asking on behalf of a <b>Company<\/b>:<\/button><br \/>\n<a class=\"btn btn-secondary\" style=\"color: #fff; word-wrap: break-word; word-break: break-all;\" href=\"https:\/\/tacjumpball.ca\/jumpball\/companycreate\">Start inquiry for a Company \u00bb<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"btn-group mr-c\" style=\"flex-wrap: wrap;\" role=\"group\" aria-label=\"NRC\"><button class=\"btn btn-light\" disabled=\"disabled\" type=\"button\">I am asking as an <b>NRC IRAP ITA\/CEA<\/b>:<\/button><br \/>\n<a class=\"btn btn-secondary\" style=\"color: #fff;\" href=\"https:\/\/tacjumpball.ca\/jumpball\/nrccreate\">Start inquiry for an ITA\/CEA \u00bb<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"btn-group mr-c\" style=\"flex-wrap: wrap;\" role=\"group\" aria-label=\"TAC\"><button class=\"btn btn-light\" disabled=\"disabled\" type=\"button\">I am asking as a fellow <b>TAC<\/b>:<\/button><br \/>\n<a class=\"btn btn-secondary\" style=\"color: #fff;\" href=\"https:\/\/tacjumpball.ca\/jumpball\/taccreate\">Start inquiry for a TAC \u00bb<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"btn-group mr-c\" style=\"flex-wrap: wrap;\" role=\"group\" aria-label=\"Other\"><button class=\"btn btn-light\" disabled=\"disabled\" type=\"button\">I am asking on behalf of <b>None of the above<\/b>:<\/button><br \/>\n<a class=\"btn btn-secondary\" style=\"color: #fff;\" href=\"https:\/\/tacjumpball.ca\/jumpball\/othercreate\">Start inquiry for &#8220;None of the above&#8221; \u00bb<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-4611","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tech-access.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4611","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tech-access.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tech-access.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tech-access.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tech-access.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4611"}],"version-history":[{"count":16,"href":"https:\/\/www.tech-access.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4611\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5934,"href":"https:\/\/www.tech-access.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4611\/revisions\/5934"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tech-access.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4611"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
