WOBA

They say with age comes wisdom.
In our case… it also comes with a rule change or two.

As one of Canada’s longest-running lawn bowls tournaments, we’ve seen a lot over the years — wooden bowls, white belts, measuring with string (and maybe a bit of creative counting). What we haven’t seen much of… is change.

Well, that changes now.

First, we want to extend a sincere and heartfelt thank you to our former sponsor MVP Sports (Dan and Brenda Milligan)Their support over the years helped keep this historic event thriving, competitive, and occasionally controversial in the best possible way. We are truly grateful for the partnership and the role they played in shaping the tournament’s legacy. 👏

As we turn the page, we are also making an important and exciting shift.

This event will no longer be a men’s-only tournament.

Beginning this year, the competition becomes an OPEN event.

Yes — open. As in open to everyone. As in, if you can roll a bowl, you’re welcome here.

The sport has evolved. Our community has evolved. And it’s time one of Canada’s oldest tournaments evolved with it.

We promise the same competitive spirit, the same questionable measuring debates, and the same post-game refreshments. What we’re adding is greater opportunity, inclusivity, and a field that better reflects the bowls community today.

Tradition matters.
But so does progress.

We’re excited for this next chapter and can’t wait to see who steps onto the green this year.

Game on. 🍁
