THE Ministry of Youth, Sports and Culture officially launched the Bahamas Golden Jubilee Games at Baha Mar on Saturday night. Minister Bowleg gave the keynote speech during the event that was attended by various delegates from the 10 participating islands as well as representatives from the national sporting bodies who will be staging the competitive sports and exhibitions. The sixth edition of the games is set for July 7-11 in New Providence and will be back after the last one was held 22 years ago in 2001. The other mini-Olympic-style games was first held in 1989, then 1991, 1995 and 1998.
