Bowls Alberta has officially cancelled their 2020 provincial events...

“These are unprecedented times we are facing as Covid-19 continues to spread and affects all of our lives. As such we are taking direction from our Canadian and Provincial government, from Health Canada and from Bowls Canada. Nothing is more important than the health and well being of our full lawn bowls community. As such please note that all activities planned for this year in regards to provincial championships and tournaments have been canceled. We will adjust in the weeks ahead as the situation unfolds. Please stay safe! And blessings to all those working on the ‘front lines’ to ensure the needs of those that are ill or are isolating are being met.” ... See MoreSee Less

Sad but necessary. Same actions taken in New Zealand. Clubs may want to come up with strategies to keep members on the books, and involved.

Congratulations Derek Dillon on becoming the first ever recipient of the Honoured Athletic Leader Award by the Calgary Booster Club for the sport of Lawn Bowls for 2020. The award recognizes supporters of athleticism in Calgary from grassroots development levels up to the elite.

Derek began his career in Australia back in 1982, but has become a force in Canadian bowls since 2013. He has represented Alberta at the Canadian National Championships 9 times and has collected one gold, two silver and one bronze medals. His most recent was a silver medal along with teammate Greg Wilson last summer at the Nationals held at the Burlington Lawn Bowling Club.

“Derek’s passion for our sport is outstanding and his leadership has helped develop many players across Alberta”, said Trevor Pohle, President of Bowls Alberta. “Derek was appointed our provincial head coach in 2017... and has coached our athletes at five national championships and helped them bring home several medals”, he added.

“Derek is one of only two coaches in Canada who have attained the status of certified Performance Coach — the highest level of certification available in the sport of Bowls”, commented Anna Mees, Executive Director of Bowls Canada Boulingrin. “Athletes consistently indicate that Derek’s constructive, supportive and positive approach is instrumental to their success and growth”, she added.

“He is a proud supporter of Youth bowls and travels relentlessly across the province, almost entirely at his own expense, to provide clinics to all the major Clubs in Alberta”, said Mike O’Reilly, President of the Calgary Lawn Bowling Club.

Ladies who may be interested in achieving high level coaching accreditation stand a good chance of receiving a grant from Bowls Canada. Check it out.Grants Still Available!

Despite a nearly 50/50 split of men and women in bowls in Canada, there are significantly fewer women coaches than men. Women have different life and leadership experiences, values, and attitudes which equip them with valuable sport expertise and perspective. To help encourage women to begin, or further advance, their coaching pathway, BCB is pleased to offer 5 grants of up to $200 to assist women in their coaching endeavours.

Wow! Can’t believe our wee club has made it all the way to the reaches of Candada!

If you are using ground sheets you must have a passionate greenkeeper who cares about all bowlers enjoying the game.
