Industrial Safety Supplies Inc. donate 30 cones to mark route

As Guyana continues its preparations to be historic host of the 13th edition of the Junior Caribbean Cycling Championships, the Guyana Cycling Federation (GCF) has received the boost of another corporate partner – Industrial Safety Supplies Inc.
On Friday afternoon, GCF President Horace Burrowes was presented with 30 cones that would be used to mark the turnaround point of the race, which would be held during the period August 10-11.
Crystal Kallu, Administrative Assistant of Industrial Safety Supplies Inc., in handing over the items to Burrowes, said the company have been very supportive of sports and the development of young people, and has no hesitation in partnering with the GCF to bring off this event, which Guyana would, for the first time, be hosting.
“It is an absolute pleasure for Industrial Safety Supplies to be making this contribution to this championship, which we are told would be attracting about 20 nations. The safety of the riders is of importance, and therefore we trust that our contribution would go some distance in ensuring a safe and enjoyable championship by all the cyclists, male and female,” Kallu said.
GCF President, Horace Burrowes, in response, thanked Ms. Kallu and Manager of Industrial Safety Supplies, Hemant Narine, for coming on board without hesitation, and promised that the cones would not only serve to ensure the Junior Caribbean Championships are well-run, but that the items would also help to enhance races that would be held locally.
“The GCF would like to express sincere gratitude to you for this contribution. It is true that Guyana would be hosting these championships for the first time in our history, and we therefore want it to be the best ever in the history of the CCF. We can assure you that your partnership has taken us a step closer in achieving this objective,” he assured.
Under the auspices of the Caribbean Cycling Federation (CCF), the Junior Cycling Championships will be held in the green town of Bartica, in Region Seven, in a collaboration between the Township of Bartica, the National Sports Commission, and the Guyana Cycling Federation.
