Bashaw is truly a "community" as it is strategically situated where the four counties of Camrose, Ponoka, Stettler and Lacombe converge. This uniqueness in location affords a volunteerism spirit second to none. Numerous spring and summer events are hosted in Bashaw annually because of this giving and participative nature.
