The Canadian National Bowls Championships is organised by Bowls Canada. The first National Championships was held in 1954 for the men's singles, pairs and fours (rinks).

History The first mention of bowls in Canada was in 1734, when a British garrison at Nova Scotia was granted land to lay down a green.

In 1930, bowls featured at the inaugural Commonwealth Games in Hamilton, Ontario. There were singles, pairs and rinks events.

Two years later in April 1932, the CLBA was constituted, assisted by Alfred Langford. The first President Dr. Weston Krupp and first Vice-president Walter H Cowan were both elected at the inaugural meeting held at the High Park Club, Toronto.
