Bert Hill Senior Classic

This event was originally called the Senior Citizens’ Mixed Team Tournament. Then, in 1992, it was renamed in honour of Bert Hill, a dedicated bowling volunteer for over 50 years. One of Bert’s most important contributions was conducting instruction clinics for new five pin bowlers in centres from one end of the Province to the other for over 30 years.

The Bert Hill Senior Classic is open to all bowlers 55 years of age and over and is a 5-player mixed team handicap (pins over average) tournament that goes to a provincial championship. We encourage all centres to get involved in this great event. If you are interested in this event encourage your centre to get their seniors involved.
