Bowls Canada Boulingrin – Team Canada is ready for action.  After a week of acclimatization and training, our athletes are ready to put their best bowl forward and take on the competition.  With the top bowlers in the world in attendance at the 2016 World Bowls Championships, there are expected to be many highlights and touch competition.
 

Week one will feature the women playing singles and fours, while the men play pairs and triples.  Kelly McKerihen (Toronto, ON) will represent Canada in the singles and after months of showing great success on the greens of the Southern Hemisphere, McKerihen is ready to compete.  The women’s fours team add to the experience level with Leanne Chinery (Victoria, BC), Shirley Fitzpatrick-Wong (Winnipeg, MB) and Jackie Foster (Lower Sackville, NS), welcome lead, Pricilla Westlake (Delta, BC).

“Even though New Zealand is now my home, I will always love where I come from.  I consider it a great honour and privilege to be able to wear the Maple leaf and represent Canada to the best of my abilities” stated Chinery.  

On the men’s side, Ryan Bester (Hanover, ON) and Steven Santana (North Vancouver, BC) will be a heavy favourite in the pairs.  Bester and Santana hope to carry the momentum from Asia Pacifics into World Bowls.  Cameron Lefresne (Enfield, NS) will be joining veterans Steve McKerihen (Toronto, ON) and Ryan Stadnyk (Niagara Fall, ON) in the men’s triples. 

“I am excited for the opportunity to play with fellow teammates Bester, McKerihen, Santana and Stadnyk.  It is always a privilege to represent Canada” Lefresne stated prior to departing for World Bowls. 

The team will be supported by BCB High Perfomance Director Macky Singh and Managers Jean Roney and Don Caswell.  BCB is fortunate to have Keith Roney volunteer his services to support our teams while he is visiting New Zealand. Nick Watkins, Bowls Canada’s chief umpire, will be one of the umpires officiating at this event. 

The schedule of play is packed with tough matches and long days but BCB Performance Director, Singh is optimistic, “we have a very strong group of athletes with plenty of experience and depth competing at previous Commonwealth Games, World Cups and Asia Pacifics which will be key in achieving podium performance”.
