Last week, the 2026 Canadian Lawn Bowling Championships witnessed several notable moments, including Manitoban players achieving silver medal finishes. Sam Forrest, an 18-year-old athlete, secured the silver in the U18 boys’ category at a tournament held in Hanover, Ontario, from August 10-14. During the North Vancouver, British Columbia leg of the championships, held from August 16-23, Forrest teamed up with his grandfather, John Bjornson, and fellow competitors Rod Rose and Wayne Trindall in the men’s fours event.
Forrest's performance was recognized with the Spirit Award. In the women's pairs category, Shirley Fitzpatrick-Wong and her mother Clarice Fitzpatrick earned silver, narrowly missing the B.C. duo they faced.
