June Bell is a former Canadian international lawn bowler whose career peaked in the 1970s. At the 1977 World Outdoor Bowls Championship in Worthing she won a silver medal in the singles for Canada. At home she collected a long list of titles: the 1975 Canadian National triples championship, the 1976 National singles championship, the 1976 American Open pairs, the Ontario singles championship in 1973, 1976 and 1981, and the Ontario triples championship in 1975. She was also active in the administration of the game. She served as president of the Woodstock Lawn Bowling Club in 1966 and 1967, and later chaired the Canadian Women's Selection Committee in 1991 and 1992, which shaped which players were chosen to represent the country. Her record shows a player who succeeded at provincial, national and world level and then gave time to running the sport.
