In 2012 the City of Toronto raised the fees it charges the West Toronto Lawn Bowling Club from $22.60 to $3,000 plus hst.

An update on fees paid by bowling clubs to he City of Toronto. The City raised the fee charged to the club from $22.60 to $3,000 plus hst, in 2012 and has hiked fees another 3% for 2013. Some clubs received a grant to help with operations, these were stopped at the same time as the fee increase. One club has been forced to close and others may follow. West Toronto and other clubs have been campaigning before commmittees at City Hall resulting in a Lawn Bowling Advisory Group being set up by the Parks and Environment Committee. A one time fund of $30,000 has been set aside to help any of the 14 City owned clubs who need help make the adjustment, and to promote the sport. For more information call West Toronto club President, Steve Shallhorn at 647-985-4480 or email shallhorn@gmail.com.
