Congratulations, Dartmouth Lawn Bowls Club

CLAUDIA CHENDER « » : Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize members of the Dartmouth Lawn Bowls Club who, this past August, made history at the 2022 Canadian Lawn Bowling Championships in Burlington, Ontario.

Steve Ogden, along with Halifax-based teammate Steve Bezanson, won gold in the Men's Pairs, making Mr. Ogden a seven-time Canadian champion and a fifth-time champion in Men's Pairs. Raymond MacDonald and John Siteman brought home the silver medal in the Men's Fours with long-time Bridgetown-based teammates Braeden Campbell and Liam Campbell in a loss to Alberta. This team is unique in lawn bowls for debuting a team with three out of four members aged 25 years old or younger on the national stage.

Please join me in congratulating the Dartmouth Lawn Bowls Club on their amazing performance and for breaking down the age barrier in sport. Congratulations.
