Sgt. Tatyana Danylyshyn came first in the rifle category at Britain’s annual Bisley shooting competition, which takes place in the Village of Bisley, southwest of London.
Sgt. Danylyshyn is a Canadian Army reservist from Vancouver Island. She joined the The Canadian Scottish Regiment (Princess Mary’s), based in Victoria, as a reserve member in 2002. Since then, she has competed in several shooting competitions, placing second in two previous appearances at Bisley.
The Canadian Armed Forces had a 20-member team at the competition. The Canadian contingent placed in the top three of nearly all the matches they competed in against 700 military shooters from around the world.
Shooting competitions give Canadian soldiers the opportunity to train and test their combat readiness, while also allowing the chance to share knowledge and best practices of small arms training with other nations.
Jason Kenney, National Defence Minister, says he’s proud of Danylyshyn’s exceptional performance and applauds her for being a role model for other soldiers and the international community.
