We are a boxing and fitness club for youth, adults, older adults & seniors. We have been in operation in Calgary since 2012, offering both competitive and recreational boxing training. In 2016 we launched an adaptive fitness and cognitive skills based program for people living with Parkinson’s Disease. This program is non-contact of course and it is truly at the “heart” of everything we do at Grizzly!

I interviewed my dad on video in his final weeks. When I asked about his work and finding meaning through helping others, he responded, “I don’t think you can be focused on, ‘Oh gee, I want to make a difference.’ It has to be spontaneous. If it’s not…there’s some kind of egotistical thing going on. That’s a red flag. You hope you impact people on the deepest level you are capable of at the time. Sometimes you hit it, sometimes you don’t. You’re trying.
