The bowling competition begins on Tuesday in Prince Edward Island and will run until Saturday.

For the five-pin athletes, this competition is the highest level which they can compete at.

However, for both the ten-pin and swimming athlete they have the potential to be named to Team Canada to compete and travel to the Special Olympics World Summer Games in Abu Dhabi, March 14th-21st, 2019.
