I-ii EDUCATION RESOURCE MANUAL 2000 Whitehorse Arctic Winter Games INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION EDUCATION RESOURCE BOOK III-1 INTRODUCTION 2000 Whitehorse Arctic Winter Games How the Games Began The Arctic Winter Games is an international sporting and cultural event held biennially with participation from Canada's Yukon, Nunavut, Northwest Territories and Northern Alberta, the American State of Alaska, Greenland and the guest Russian Provinces of Chukotka and Magadan. The Arctic Winter Games International Committee is the governing body of the Arctic Winter Games and, as such, is responsible for the policy requirements related to the event. The story of the Arctic Winter Games begins in 1967 on the occasion of the Canada Winter Games in Quebec City. Stuart Hodgson and James Smith, then Commissioners of the Northwest Territories and Yukon, unhappily looked on while athletes from their jurisdictions were decisively bested in competition. Both men realized that with the relatively small pool of athletes, and inadequate facilities and training, northern athletes, with few exceptions, would be unable to complete favourably with their southern counterparts at the national level for many years to come. Thus, the idea for the Arctic Winter Games was germinated and discussions ensued between the Commissioners and the then Governor of the State of Alaska, the Honorable Walter Hickel. Governor Hickel enthusiastically embraced the concept and the Arctic Winter Games Corporation (now Arctic Winter Games International Committee) was formed in 1968. The first set of Games was staged in Yellowknife in 1970 and was officially opened by former Prime Minister of Canada Pierre Elliott Trudeau. Approximately 500 athletes, coaches and officials participated and the Games were a great success. One of the main objects of the Games is, and always has been, to involve as many athletes as possible either in the Games themselves or in team trials and to provide a competitive forum for those other than elite athletes with opportunities in the south. The Arctic Winter Games Corporation logo, consisting of three interlocking rings, symbolizes athletic competition, cultural exhibition, and social interchange, which is the philosophy behind the Games. Although gold, silver and bronze medals are awarded to the athletes, the only trophy awarded is that to the team which displays the best sportsmanship throughout the Games. Originally, the three participating units were Northwest Territories, Yukon and Alaska, but Northern Quebec joined the Games in 1972 when they were held in Whitehorse. At that time, observers from Greenland, the Soviet Union and Labrador attended the Games to better understand the unique and successful concept. In 1974 the Games were held in Anchorage and in 1976 in Schefferville, Quebec. Unfortunately, after that time Northern Quebec ended its participation and, in 1978 when the Games were held in Hay River/Pine Point, only the three original units participated. Throughout the 80s, the Games have rotated among Yellowknife, Whitehorse, and Fairbanks, Alaska, and the twentieth anniversary was celebrated

MULTI-SPORT COMPETITIONS UDC: 796.09 (100) (091) (Professional peper ) Violeta Šiljak and Vesna Boškan Alfa University, Faculty of Management in Sport, Belgrade, Serbia Abstract Apart from the Olympic games, world championships, the university students games – The Universiade, there are many other regional sport movements organized as well. The World Games, the Asian Games, the Panamerican Games, the Commonwealth Games, the Balkan Games and so on, are some of multi-sport competitions all having the mutual features of competitions in numerous sports which last for several days. Some sports which are not a part of the Olympic Games programme are included into these world/regional games.

  • Arctic Winter Games Exhibit Documents History
    Arctic Winter Games exhibit documents history When George V. Smith began collecting lapel pins from the Arctic Winter Games (AWG) in 1992, he had no idea that this would eventually lead to a museum exhibit. His collection grew with each passing game and in 2001 he began to solicit donations from those who participated in earlier years in an effort to amass a definitive collection for the Alaska State Museum. The collection is nearly complete and totals almost 1,000 pins. Smith’s efforts led to the development of an exhibition on the history and organization of the Arctic Winter Game to coincide with the hosting of the Arctic Winter Games. The exhibition, titled simply Arctic Winter Games, was organized by the Alaska State Museum in Juneau, with Smith as guest curator. The exhibit describes the evolution of the Games, the sports, awards and cultural activities, as well as the Games’ organizational structure. In addition to the collection of AWG-related pins, the show features photo panels, jackets, team clothing, sports equipment, emblems, mascots and other paraphernalia. Smith has also written labels to accompany the exhibit describing the Games and their history. Smith said, “While the pin collection may have been the impetus for building an AWG collection for the Alaska State Museum, it could never have happened without the generous donations of clothing, posters, and other materials by many AWG enthusiasts from Alaska, Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Northern Alberta.” The Arctic Winter Games are staged every two years in either Alaska, Canada, or Greenland. Northern cities compete with each other for the privilege of hosting the Games, much like the Olympic Games host cities.

  • 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.

  • Historical Perspectives of Sports Tourism
    Journal of Sport Tourism 9(1), 2004, 5–101 Historical perspectives of sports tourism John Zauhar Sport Tourism International Council .................................................................................................................................... PREAMBLE ‘In 1992, there were 1.3 million people arriving in a country outside that of their residence and spending an average of $764 million on accommodations, meals, entertainment and shopping’ (Segal, 1987). Total international tourist arrivals for 1989 have been established by the World Tourism Organization (WTO) at 405.3 million. And travel and tourism contribution to the world economy amounted to $US2 trillion in sales. In effect, the European Council on Development has deter- mined that, by the year 2000, the tourism industry will be the largest in the world (World Tourism Organization, 1994). Whereas in previous decades tourism has been largely shaped by transport technol- ogy advances, the future decade will be determined by a number of factors, already evidenced: socio-demographic changes; electronic information and communication systems; more knowledgeable and demanding consumers; de-regulatory market place (Fridgen, 1991: 3–26). Some influences on, and determinants of, tourism activity in the 1990-2000 period will be: the scale and variety of tourism development in all types of tourism destinations; the growing interest in peoples and cultures of developing countries; increases in the number of consumers with free time, financial ability and interest to travel; the growing importance of ethnic ties between different nations. Prime examples of market niche targeting related to sports, according to the WTO forecast, are: sailing, yachting, scuba diving, golfing, resort holidays and island hopping. Themed holidays are also becoming popular, accounting for a significant proportion of total tourist demands – approaching the stage of mainstream holiday rather than the traditional ‘beach’ sequence (McCourt, 1989: 13).

In order to give them that level playing field, the Edmonton Sport Council would like your support in developing a Canadian Sport Centre (CSC) in Edmonton. The concept of a CSC began more than 15 years ago with a pilot centre in Calgary. Since that time, the concept of dedicated multi-sport training and support facilities for athletes and coaches has also proven beneficial in Victoria, Vancouver, Saskatoon/Regina, Winnipeg, Toronto, Montreal and Atlantic Canada. While each Centre is unique in its facilities and scale of services, all share a common mission and vision.
