“Royale is proud to give back to the community,” said Robert K. Irving, President of Irving Tissue, manufacturers of Royale products. “We are excited to support the Maritime Women’s Basketball Association as they launch this league. We wish them the best as they build an association that allows women to continue to compete in basketball at a high level.”
