“Mash at Mall” will feature elite amateur boxers from across Western Canada. These athletes, many of whom have honed their skills in community gyms and local clubs much like those found here in Chestermere, are ready to showcase their talent in a competitive yet family-friendly atmosphere. The event is seen as an opportunity not only to celebrate the sport but also to foster unity among residents from different communities who share a love for athletic competition and healthy lifestyles.
