New Westminster Founded in 1917
​
The area chosen for the first New Westminster Bowling Club was located on two parcels of land near 322 Second Street. There were only greens at this location, with no clubhouse. Dues for 1918 were $5.00. The club moved to the corner of Tenth and Dublin having grown from 10 members at its first meeting to 1917 to over 100 in 1922. The interest in the game was so great that a clubhouse was built with lockers, with kitchen, tool house, verandah, and toilet conveniences by the members themselves. On March 30, 1948 a motion passed to sell the property and enter into an agreement with the City of New Westminster. The new Moody Park greens were officially opened May 20, 1950 and the first jack was rolled by Premier Byron Johnson. The club hosts four inter-club tournaments a year - Marg Bauer Mixed Fours, Men’s and Women’s Triples and the Hyack Mixed Triples.

One of the high points in the club's history was when it played host to the Lawn Bowls event in the Commonwealth Games (then called the British Empire Games in 1954.
West Vancouver Founded in 1931
​
Organized lawn bowls games were established in West Vancouver long before World War I on the tennis greens located near the Navvy Jack Thomas house. Early enthusiast Charles Nelson (West Vancouver's first reeve) built a private green on his residential property as Sunday play was forbidden on the District's property. In June 1931 the Men's Club built a green in the area south of the original West Vancouver United Church. They added a clubhouse in 1934. This was later expanded in the 1980's and the green was repaired and restored. Over the years the club membership and tournament participation has risen dramatically. Today the West Vancouver Lawn Bowls Club membership has risen to over 200 bowlers and the club hosts many local tournaments.
