Background
The Filipino-Canadian Technical Professionals Association of Manitoba (FCTPAM) basketball league originally started in 2011 and became an annual event since then. The founding partners were Arnie Mansilla and Mar Mance. It all started at Greenway School gym consisting of four teams at first. It was at the time open to the general public until 2015. In the summer of 2016, FCTPAM decided to form three teams for FCTPAM members only and participated in the first St. Peters Church Basketball league. Since then a few more teams were formed and the group decided to organize a semi-formal league. For more information about FCTPAM, please visit their website at www.fctpam.org.
