About John Bowles
Diabetes Canada invites you to be part of the 6th annual John Bowles Memorial Golf Tournament presented by Hecla Mining Company on August 11th, 2022. This event is held in memory of John Bowles. A former Hecla Board Member John was active in the Mining Suppliers Association and was awarded a Fellowship in the Canadian Institute of Mining in 2003 and was named the Mining Person of the Year by the BC Mining Association in 2006. In addition to this work, John was a dedicated volunteer, fundraiser and advocate for Diabetes Canada, first serving as local treasurer and eventually becoming the National President from 1982-84, for which he was awarded the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal in 2013. To honour John’s memory and the impact he had on the mining community, Hecla is the title sponsor of this tournament. Over the past 5 years, the tournament has raised more than $475,000 to help end diabetes.
