Carpet bowling is a popular sport with 55+ residents in the North Thompson Valley due to active groups in Barriere, Little Fort and Clearwater. The Provincial Carpet Bowling Championships were hosted last year in the communities of Little Fort and Barriere with great response and a good time was had by all. Teams finishing in top placings came from Little Fort, Barriere, Smithers, Vancouver Island, Kamloops, 100 Mile House, Prince George, and Fraserr Lake.
