Notice of Passing-Pierre Pomerleau
April 9, 2026 The club marks the passing of Pierre Pomerleau, following a short battle with Cancer. Pierre was a long-term fixture of our community, known for his constant presence and participation in both lawn bowling and croquet. A true "character" on the greens, he was recognized by members for his uncompromising style and his singular approach to the games he played. His departure concludes a notable period of involvement in our club's sporting activities. We extend our condolences to the Pomerleau Family, and Pierrre's loved ones and friends.
