It is with a heavy heart that the Archers & Bowhunters Association of Manitoba announces the passing of Glenn Lewer, a true gentleman and ambassador to the sport of archery. Glenn was an avid archer and archery coach, playing a key role in developing young archers in Manitoba with his involvement for many years as a coach with the Heights Archery Academy and more recently the Assistant Coach for the 2015 Canada Winter Games Team. Since the Winter Games in 2015, Glenn had taken on a key role with the ABAM, sitting on the Executive Committee as our Vice President Athlete Development and being named Provincial Head Recurve Coach. Glenn will missed by all. Our sincere condolences go out to the Lewer family and in particular his wife Sheila and his two sons Riel and Grayson.
