Bowls Canada – This Week in Bowls

Resources available on mandating COVID-19 vaccination within the lawn bowling environment While we strongly recommend that everyone get their COVID-19 vaccine, there are some instances where it may not be possible for individuals to do so. Mandating that a person be vaccinated without accommodations could amount to discrimination under human rights legislation. Read more about mandating vaccinations in a lawn bowling environment and view the resources on our COVID-19 webpage.

Research study on the recruitment and retention of women 40+ in competitive bowls programming You are invited to participate in a research study to explore the recruitment and retention of women 40+ into competitive bowls programming.
