Following the recent launch of Archery Guyana by the Guyana Sport Shooting Foundation, the organisation is extremely happy to be involved in the Heritage Games 2015 held at the National Aquatic Centre, on 20th September, 2015.

President of the Foundation, Ms. Vidushi Persaud expressed her delight and enthusiasm at the collaboration between the organising committee of the Games and Archery Guyana's team. She expressed her pleasure at working with Mr. Ivan Persaud, the Co-Ordinator of Heritage Games 2015 and President of the Swimming Association to have made the event a success.

The Heritage Games 2015 saw the inauguration of Swimming and Archery as competitive sports for the Indigenous communities, both of which are a part of the life and culture of our first peoples. This was alluded to by both Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo and Junior Minister within the Ministry of Indigenous Affairs, Valerie Garrido-Lowe in their feature addresses to the crowd of competitors and fans who gathered at the National Aquatic Centre at Liliendaal.
