Zone Bowling Club was in partnership with the ACG between 2015 - 2023, and hosted total 6 tournaments.
Established in 2005, All Community Games' (formerly Asian Community Games) mission is to unite Asians and all other Canadian communities through several days of friendly athletic competition. The goal is to facilitate a better understanding through interaction with each other.
Since the inception, we have been deeply encouraged by the responses and input of many communities. By focusing our first event on athletes of Asian descents, we felt a more level playing field had been achieved. In 2007, the Asian Community Games was opened to all Canadians of different age groups and ethnic communities. In 2017, to reflect the participation from all ethnic communities, the Asian Community Games was officially renamed to All Community Games.
The Community may have an impression that bowling is just a game for fun among kids and teenagers. With the development of the comprehensive rules and regulations, ten-pin bowling is emerging as a major sport event around the world. Ten-pin Bowling was one of the exhibition games enlisted in the "Summer Olympic 1988" in South Korea. Nowadays, it is the official event in the ASIAN GAMES, PAN-AM GAMES and BRITISH COMMONWEALTH GAMES. World Tenpin Bowling Championship Tournament and many international tournaments are held annually in different countries by the World Tenpin Bowling Association (WTBA) and the association in individual country such as Canada and United States. The tournaments are designed for various age groups, such as for youth, adult, senior and super senior.
For student and youth, ten-pin bowling is a valuable sport to train their mental and emotion. Ten-pin bowling demands high precision, focus and consistency in order to achieve good scores. By participating in bowling leagues and tournaments, they can further practicing the skills and learning how to win in tough situation. Besides, the Canadian Tenpin Bowling Federation and some universities in United States do offer scholarships to youth bowlers with distinguish achievements.
Professional Tenpin Bowling is also advocated by the Professional Bowling Association (PBA) in United States and other professional associations in Europe. Professional tour of bowling tournaments are being held annually which created a platform for amateur bowlers to take the sport as a career.
