2020 Awg Team Yukon Handbook 2020 AWG TEAM YUKON HANDBOOK WHITEHORSE, YUKON MARCH 15-21, 2020 T E A M Y U - YUKON DO IT, TEAM YUKON! Yukon Do It, Team Yukon! Congratulations! All your hard work and dedication have paid off and you are now officially a member of Team Yukon! I am thrilled that you will join so many other dedicated, young Yukoners representing our territory at the 2020 Arctic Winter Games in Whitehorse. From March 15 to 21, 2020 you will participate in a circumpolar phenomenon: the Arctic Winter Games. You will get to experience first-hand the role these Games play: how they showcase the North’s amazing athletes, sports and diverse cultures, and how they create opportunities to bring us all together. This year marks 50 years since the first Games were held and it is very exciting that we will be hosting the circumpolar world here in Yukon! During this year’s Games, we are expecting around 2000 participants – including athletes, cultural participants, coaches, managers and mission staff – and Team Yukon will compete alongside eight other contingents from across the North in 21 different sports. Together, you will set personal bests, win medals and maybe even break records. I know you will also make new friends, learn about different cultures and have a ton of fun along the way. As athletes, getting here – for each and every one of you – has meant days, months, even years, of hard work. Thanks to your dedication and the support of your families, coaches and officials you now have the amazing opportunity to compete for your territory. I can’t wait to go hoarse from cheering you on! So savour every moment. Good luck, bonne chance lä̀khäl ń-chʼį̀ jè! Those ulus are definitely within your reach!

At the same time, each member is also expected to fulfil certain responsibilities and obligations. This handbook outlines the roles, responsibilities and obligations of all Team Yukon members including athletes, coaches, manager, support staff and mission staff. This handbook also contains Team Yukon's Code of Conduct. This code identifies the standard of behaviour that is expected of all Team Yukon members. Participants who fail to meet this standard run the risk of losing the many privileges that come with being a member of Team Yukon, including the opportunity to compete and/or participate in future Games. All members of Team Yukon are urged to read this Code carefully. LET’S SHOW EVERYONE OUR YUKON SPIRIT…..YUKON DO IT! 1 ABOUT THE ARCTIC WINTER GAMES What are they? The Arctic Winter Games is the world’s largest northern multi-sport and culture event. The Games combine athletic competition, cultural exchange and social interaction among northern contingents. When are they held? The Games are held every two years, hosted by the northern contingents on a rotational basis. When did the Arctic Winter Games begin? The first Arctic Winter Games were held in Yellowknife, NWT in 1970 with the three contingents coming from Yukon, NWT, and Alaska. How were the Arctic Winter Games started? The idea for a northern Games originated from Cal Miller and Stuart Hodgson in 1967 after supporting northern athletes at the first Canada Winter Games. Commissioner James Smith (Yukon), Commissioner Stuart Hodgson (Northwest Territories) and Governor Walter Hickel (Alaska) began the Arctic Winter Games in 1969. All three men were concerned about the lack of competition that our northern athletes and coaches had access to and the fact they were frequently exposed to lopsided scores when they participated in the Canada Games and other national events in the south. Who participates in the Arctic Winter Games? These Games now include participation from Alaska, Yukon, Northwest Territories, Northern Alberta, Nunavut, Nunavik Quebec, Yamal Russia, and the Sapmi people from Scandinavia. The Games are a venue where developing athletes from across the north meet to enhance their athletic skills and to share their respective cultures. What are the Guiding Principles and Values of the Arctic Winter Games? Bring together young athletes to participate in friendly competition and to share cultural values from countries and regions across the North; Promote the development and benefits of sport and circumpolar cultures; Develop young athletes; Promote skill development, self-confidence and self-esteem in the athlete; Promote cultural understanding and harmony; Provide motivation for young athletes to develop active and healthy lifestyles and to make choices that could lead to the pursuit of personal excellence and provide the opportunity for participants to develop socially and culturally; Provide the inspiration and motivation for coach, official, and volunteer development, and Provide a major vehicle for community development and volunteer involvement. What awards can be won at the Arctic Winter Games? In addition to gold, silver and bronze medals (“ulus”) won by the athletes, there is a special presentation of the Hodgson Trophy to the contingent whose athletes best exemplify the ideals of fair play and team spirit. Individual “Fair Play” pins are also dispersed throughout the Games to those athletes whose efforts in fair play are noticed. 2 ELIGIBILITY FOR TEAM YUKON ATHLETE / CULTURAL PARTICIPANT Citizenship: Must be a Canadian citizen, a permanent resident of Canada, or an individual whose family is in Canada on a work visa. Residency: Must be a continuous resident of Yukon for six (6) consecutive months prior to the opening day of the Games. The effective date is September 15, 2019. Students: Students attending an institution outside of the Yukon must also comply with all eligibility requirements prior to the start of the school year, and must maintain their principle residence in Yukon. A resident of a participating contingent who is attending school outside the contingent is deemed to be a continuous resident of her/his contingent and is eligible to compete for her/his residence contingent or the contingent in which s/he is attending school (if a participating contingent), but not both. An individual who is a resident of a jurisdiction not eligible to compete at the Games; but who lives in a participating jurisdiction as a student, or who is there on a temporary work visa, or who is otherwise temporarily living in a participating jurisdiction; is not considered a resident of the participating jurisdiction and is therefore ineligible to compete in the Arctic Winter Games. Age: Must be at least nine years of age as of the opening day of the Games (March 15, 2020). Athletes: Must not have been a member of a national team in the sport in which she/he is competing, nor competed in, nor have been selected for an international competition as a representative of her/his country in the sport within one year of the opening date of the Games. Sports without a National Sport Organization (NSO) are exempt from this rule; Are only permitted to compete in one sport at the Games; Must comply with all individual sport requirements as per the technical package, and the AWG staging manual; and Must be an active members in good standing with their respective Yukon Sport Governing Body (YSGB) and be willing to adhere to the terms and conditions of the Participant Agreement. 3 ELIGIBILITY FOR TEAM YUKON ATHLETE / CULTURAL PARTICIPANT Trials: Must participate at the sport trial(s) in order to be selected to any team. Exceptions to this rule will be permitted only upon review and approval by the Games Committee. Exemptions may be granted for the following reasons: injury, illness, Yukon school program commitments and special family circumstance. Full time attendance at school outside the Territory does not constitute a “Yukon school programming commitment” which would exempt you from the trial, and a family holiday does not constitute “Special Family Circumstance”. In order for an exemption to be considered, an application for exemption must be submitted to the Government of Yukon Sport and Recreation Branch 48 hours prior to the start of the specific sport trial. Where there are special situations making attendance impossible which could not have been anticipated, these will be considered individually by the Games Committee. Once an athlete is selected, and signs off on the final team roster for a specific sport, he/she will not be eligible to be selected to any other sport . Vacant spots on any team cannot be filled after the tri- als unless the vacancy jeopardizes team competition within the sport, such as in relays or team sports. If a participant is interested in trying out for two different sports, and those sports are having their specific sport trials at the same time, the participant must choose between the two sports. Conflicting trial dates and times are not grounds for trials exemption. Post Trials: Following selection to Team Yukon, an athlete must commit to and follow a training program acceptable to their coach and the Yukon Sport Governing Body.

  • 2018 Arctic Winter Games
    2020 ARCTIC WINTER GAMES MISSION STAFF APPLICATION PACKAGE The Arctic Winter Games (AWG) are an international multi-sport and cultural event that will bring together 1,500 athletes from the Northwest Territories (NWT), Yukon, Nunavut, Alaska, Greenland, Russia, Nunavik, Northern Alberta and the Indigenous people of Norway and Finland (Sápmi). The concept of the AWG was developed as a direct result of the experiences of Northern athletes at the 1967 Canada Winter Games. Representatives of the Yukon and NWT realized that their teams were at a disadvantage due to relatively small athletic pools, lack of facilities and infrequent training opportunities. Therefore, the concept of an event specifically designed for Northern athletes was born. The first Games were staged in 1970 in Yellowknife, NWT, and have taken place every two years since, alternating between participating jurisdictions. The 2020 are the 50th anniversary of the Games and are going to be held back in Whitehorse Yukon from March 15-21, 2020. Team Yukon is seeking enthusiastic, dedicated and experienced sport volunteers. Mission Staff play a key role in the success of a well-managed team. Team Yukon is preparing to have a group of representatives who will operate under the direction of the Chef de Mission, and will be assigned to work with, and disseminate information to a designated sport(s) before and during the Games. Mission Staff must possess strong communication and administration skills and be able to work within a fast-paced environment. Mission Staff must possess a balance of the technical understanding and competency in a particular sport with the ability to communicate and engage youth.

  • AWG 50Th Anniversary Booklet.Pdf
    Since the Arctic Winter Games was first held in 1970, the event’s mission – to promote athletic competition, cultural exhibition and social interaction among Northerners – has always been symbolized by three interlocking rings. Over the years, the official logo has evolved to include a multi-coloured ribbon reminiscent of the Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis. In 2003, the various elements of this logo were revised. At the same time, the Northern Lights were ‘put back in the night’ by the addition of a black background bordered by a white circle that represents the circumpolar world. Finally, the original image of the interlocking rings was reintroduced to the logo because of its strength. The Arctic Winter Games International Committee would like to acknowledge the 2020 Arctic Winter Games are being held on the Traditional Territory of the Kwanlin Dün First Nation and the Ta’an Kwäch’än Council. Message from the President Mr. John Flynn DAWSON CITY, YUKON I have been involved with the Arctic Winter Games as an athlete, coach, and a Director on the International Committee and now as the President of the International Committee. My first games were in 1974 and I found out then, the Arctic Winter Games are something very special. As a young First Nations Athlete coming from a very small town in rural Yukon, the Games opened my eyes to different cultures and meeting young athletes like myself from the circumpolar north; the friendships you make last you a lifetime. I take this opportunity to encourage all young people from the circumpolar north to become involved in the Arctic Winter Games; It is truly a celebration for All.
