The Continental Cycle Club (CCC) member has been invited to attend and compete at the UCI C1 Para-Cycling Event which is set to take place from April 28th – 29th next at Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve, Montreal Canada.

Stuart informed that his ultimate goal is to represent Guyana at the Paralympics and will use this event as a stepping stone towards achieving this aim.
Meanwhile, President of the Guyana Cycling Federation (GCF) Horace Burrowes in an invited comment said that the federation is more than 100% behind Grant-Stuart’s quest to fly the Golden Arrowhead in Canada.
”We are very happy for Walter and would be providing him his uniforms for this event. I would have spoken personally with him and assured him of our support for this and other events. The GCF would continue to work with Walter to ensure that he reaches his full potential in this form of the sport with the ultimate aim of competing at the Paralympics.”
