​It was an exciting day at the Dartmouth Lawn Bowls Club as we kicked off the 2026 season of competitive lawn bowls action with this year’s edition of the Dartmouth LBC Early Bird Mixed Triples! This year’s edition featured 16 top notch teams from across Nova Scotia eager to battle it out for this year’s title and a share of the prize purse. The competition was top notch across the 6 rounds of play with lots of games coming down to the last bowl.
Congratulations to Steve Ogden, Vicki Balcom and Lorraine Bezanson- who went 6-0 (+26) to capture this year’s championship title! Runner-Up for this year was John Siteman, Ann Marie Siteman and Raymond MacDonald- who went 5-1 (+21) across the 6 sessions to take out the silver medal position. 3rd Place went to Grahame Usher, Joy Moreside and Rick Fry (5-1, +16) while 4th Place went to Keith Finck, Nancy Latimer and Rick Latimer (4-1-1, +18).
Thanks to Dartmouth for hosting a great event once again (led by DLBC Match Chair Debby Purdy), our umpires Joan MacDonald and Paul Knox, all the kitchen volunteers, the markers who helped out in the Singles games and all the fans who came to cheer on the players as they hit the greens. Up next on the 2026 Season schedule, we take some time to celebrate the sport we all love with the 10th Annual National Bowls Day (with events across the province to introduce our communities to the sport).

​Lawn Bowls Nova Scotia is proud to announce Cameron Lefresne of the Wanderers Lawn Bowls Club as the 2025-26 LBNS Senior Male Athlete of the Year!
Cameron continues to establish himself among Canada’s elite. In September 2025, he represented Canada at the Atlantic International Challenge, posting an 11-4 record to help secure the men’s team title while earning Men’s Player of the Tournament honours.
In March 2026, he skipped Team Canada’s Men’s Fours to a 3-1 record at the World Bowls America’s Qualifier, securing qualification for the 2027 World Championships. Outside of his National Team duties, Cameron also captured the prestigious 2026 Bill Boettger Memorial Men’s Pairs title in July in Kitchener alongside former clubmate Brian White.
Congratulations Cameron, on an outstanding season representing Nova Scotia on the international stage! Cameron will be honoured alongside other Provincial Sport Organization’s Senior Male Athlete of the Year recipients from around the province at the 2026 Support4Sport Awards on May 23rd at the Halifax Convention Centre.
