Acton Lanes appeals to kids A focus on children's bowl- ing programs has paid off for Acton Bowling Lanes which recently was honoured at a bowling proprietors convention in Calgary for having the most children bowling per lane in Canada. With six lanes and 210 chil- dren enrolled in the Youth Bowling Council (YBC) last year, Acton Lanes owners Gord and Darlene Labombard, both of whom grew up in the YBC program, are glad their effort to get kids involved with bowling has mushroomed. eer "The success of our pro- gram shows up in bowlers like Kylie Kruk (of Acton) who recently picked up her second national bowling award," Gord Labombard explained recently. "When we took over Acton Bowl four years ago we made a dedicated effort to focus on youth bowling by offering it after school, at night and at various tines on the week- ends." Labombard said they plan to offer a 55+ program for bowlers and one for special needs bowlers in the fall.
