An annual lawn bowling game between the New Westminster Youth Ambassadors Society and the city raises funds for the B.C. and Alberta Guide Dogs - just one of the activities local youth involved in the program can enjoy.

New Westminster city council once again emerged as victors in an annual battle for supremacy on the bowling green.

The New Westminster Youth Ambassador Society recently hosted its annual fundraiser in support of the B.C. and Alberta Guide Dogs at the New Westminster Lawn Bowling Club, pitting a team of ambassadors against a city council team. The council team beat the ambassadors by one point, thereby reclaiming bragging rights after losing to their ambassadors last year.

“This is the second time in the past four years that they have won,” said a press release from the New Westminster Youth Ambassador Team.

Playing for the ambassadors were Chloe Hill, Isabel Garcia, Samantha Candelaria, Anastasia Sabinin, Nik Filusz and MK Thaosiri. The council team was comprised of Coun. Chuck Puchmayr and wife Amber Anderson, Coun. Patrick Johnstone, Coun. Jaimie McEvoy and wife Stacey Ashton, and Gordon Hamilton. Johnstone’s partner Antigone Dixon-Warren accompanied the team and provided moral support.
