I have been coming to Mail Champlain since November 2016—it has become my home away from home, since I work there daily. My greatest memory will undoubtedly remain the opening of the very first Decathlon store in Canada on April 18, 2018. This moment represents the start of a great adventure, not only for me, but also for the entire team and for the shopping centre, which enthusiastically welcomed this project. 


What I love about Mail Champlain is that it's so vibrant. There's always something going on: new stores, activities, events... It's a lively place that keeps evolving and redefining itself over time. 


Mail Champlain holds a special place in our hearts because it's where it all started for Decathlon in Canada. It's a privilege to be part of this history and to contribute to the life of such an iconic shopping centre on the South Shore. 


As the centre celebrates its 50th anniversary, I feel a lot of emotion and pride in having been part of this chapter of its history. In a nutshell, to me, Mail Champlain is all about emotions.
