About the Just Roll With It Program, a Para Bowls Program
Everyone has ability! Para bowls offers opportunities for Canadians with a disability where they can play and compete in lawn bowls. A sport for all, lawn bowls offers accessible and integrated activities.
In 2021, Bowls Canada piloted the “Just Roll With It” program in two clubs and following that success launched the program nationally. Bowls Canada encourages clubs to get involved to build more accessible and inclusive programming within their community.
The Just Roll With It website is your source for all information about lawn bowls for participants with disabilities. It contains resources and tools for both clubs and participants who want more information or who are looking to find ways to get involved.
Check out the Just Roll With It Poster for the who, what, where, when, why, how of the program.
