INAUGURAL MAYORAL & COUNCILLOR’S CHALLENGE INVOLVING OUR FIVE LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES

Thursday, August 13th, 2026

What an amazing evening at this inaugural event, with all five West Shore municipalities represented! Mayors and Councillors came together for an evening of friendly competition, community connection and some amazing bowling on the greens! The Highland contingent really got into the spirit and came dressed in their best Scottish attire. Mayor Ken Williams embraced the persona of William Wallace from the movie Braveheart and looked great. We even had a politician in training, 9-year-old Hazel, take to the greens to try her hand at lawn bowling, well done future mayor!

Congratulations to Colwood, who took home the inaugural West Shore Mayors & Councillors Challenge Cup

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to compete, cheer on their municipality and help make the evening such a success. A special thank you to our club members who helped welcome our guests, provide coaching and make the evening so enjoyable.

We all enjoyed a fabulous BBQ with all the trimmings, followed by ice cream and multiple toppings for dessert! What a great way to end the evening.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Lee Valley Tools, Save-On-Foods (Colwood), The Rose, Colwood Pizza Co. and My-Chosen Café for their generous support of the event. Your contributions helped make the evening extra special.

We were proud to showcase our club and the sport of lawn bowls to our West Shore community. We hope this is the start of a new annual tradition!

JOAN PRICE QUADDIE

Juan de Fuca LBC hosted the annual Joan Price Quaddie on Tuesday, July 14, welcoming 20 teams to this popular and enjoyable tournament.

The Joan Price Quaddie has been a favourite event since its inception in 1999. To learn more about its history, please select the HISTORY link.

Congratulations to this year’s tournament winners, listed below, and to all the teams who participated and made the day such a success.

A special thank you goes to a Juan de Fuca LBC member who stepped in at the last minute after a player became ill. Thanks to her willingness to help, two teams were able to remain in the tournament rather than having to withdraw. 👏👏

We also extend our sincere appreciation to the Games Committee, Field Setup Crew, Kitchen Crew, Umpires, and the Markers. Without the time, effort, and dedication of these volunteers, events like this would not be possible.
