VANCOUVER, BC , April 21, 2021 /CNW/ - TGS Esports Inc. ("TGS" or the "Company") (TSXV: TGS) (OTC: TGSEF) (FRA: 5RH) is pleased to announce an exciting new collegiate esports events program partnership with Return-It to help drive recovery rates for beverage containers in BC. The partnership kicks off on Earth Day ( April 22th, 2021 ) and is a first of its kind marketing partnership that will highlight the importance of sustainability to gamers across British Columbia .
This campaign is targeted to 18 to 34 year-olds. Many of the empty beverage containers not recycled in BC each year are within this demographic – the most of any age group.

The partnership will also focus on story-telling around Earth Day and will include several fun and engaging activations.
