BC Bowls for Kids






THE 16th Annual BC Bowls for Kids campaign is a month-long, January tradition throughout the province. This year's event runs from January 2 - 27 and goes to support the Variety Club of B.C. Bowlers all across the province gather pledges then, on a designated night, play a game of bowling just for the kids. More than $1.6 million dollars has been raised since the program began back in 1987, and there's still time left for you to get involved by signing up at your local bowling centre. On Saturday, it was the media's turn to have some fun at Vancouver's Varsity Ridge lanes. Check out the shots below.
