Ken. McIntyre wins
provincial award
GRAND BEND - Ken McIn-
tyre of Southcott Pines is one of
25 provincial residents who was
recently in Toronto to receive a
Special Achievement Award for
long -serving contributions to am-
ateur sport.
In making the presentation to
McIntyre and 24 others from On-
tario, Minister of Culture, Tour-
ism and Recreation Anne Swar-
bick said, "With these awards we
recognize the continued dedica-
tion of these individuals, and
thousands of others across the
province who have helped us
create one of the best amateur
sports programs in the world."
Ken Mclntyre's award came
for his association with lawn
bowls which began 38 years ago
at the London Elmwood Club.
His business career took most of
his time until he was appointed
to the association's provincial
board of directors.
He began the first marketing
committee for lawn bowls and
for a decade was tournament
chairman of the most competi-
tive and prestigious lawn bowl-
ing tournament in Canada, held
each year in London.
In 1991, he was appointed to
the National Team Committee
for Lawn Bowls Canada and has
served on that committee for the
past four years evaluating
players for international competi-
tion.
One of his latest efforts on be-
half of lawn bowling, has been in
organizing and administering On-
tario's first player development
camp.
While hockey has been his first
love and as a past president of
the London Minor Hockey Asso-
ciation, McIntyre says his in-
volvement in lawn bowling, es-
pecially at the administrative
level gives him a chance to give
something back to sports.
He told the T -A this week,
"With government funds reced-
ing, it's ' important to develop
marketing and ours was the first
scheme of its kind in Canada."
