    CHEF DE MISSION FINAL REPORT 2014 ARCTIC WINTER GAMES Team Nunavik-Québec, Chef de Mission Nancianne Grey Section I Evaluation of Performance of the Host Society Registration and Accreditation Was the pre-Games registration convenient and functional? · Overall worked very well. · A couple of glitches with the right rooms not being available on the system for heads to beds with our cultural contingent. · Gems did not send emails to all our VIP’s inviting them to register. Did the accreditation system at the Games work well? · Yes, but (although this was corrected) Chef’s and Assistant Chef’s should have full access1-4 on their badges. Provide comments or recommendations. · Additional supplies as the Accreditation room ran through their supplies early in the week. Welcome/Arrival Services Was the arrival of your team handled in a timely manner with a minimum of confusion? · There was some confusion over were athletes should gather once off the plane in the airport. Also some confusion on which exit to take the bus, but overall went smoothly. Provide comments or recommendations. · There was little to show designation of who was in charge of guiding the participants on were to go. A better strategy with signs indicating designated areas and were to go could be utilized. Opening Ceremonies Did the opening ceremonies do a good job of kicking off the week? · Yes, but the exit strategy to take the busses was ill organized and completely chaotic. · Having a free for all allowing all athletes to take any bus at random was an error. Some athletes ended up at the wrong lodging venue and were not taken to their appropriate dormitory.

  • Northern Governments Exploring New Options for Sports Removed from 2016 Arctic Winter Games| Government of Yukon News Release
    16/08/2017 Northern governments exploring new options for sports removed from 2016 Arctic Winter Games| Government of Yukon news release FOR RELEASE June 7, 2013 Northern governments exploring new options for sports removed from 2016 Arctic Winter Games WHITEHORSE—Following a decision from the Arctic Winter Games International Committee (AWGIC), the ministers responsible for sport in Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, along with the Lieutenant Governor of Alaska, will work together to ensure that the sports eliminated from the 2016 Arctic Winter Games (AWG) in Greenland will have an alternate multi- sport venue. Representatives of the six permanent partners in the Arctic Winter Games met recently with the AWGIC to discuss the 2016 games. Subsequent to that meeting, the international committee confirmed it will continue with the approved sport program for the Greenland games, which excludes midget hockey, dog mushing, curling, speed skating, figure skating and gymnastics. In response, a committee is being formed, led by the Northwest Territories, to research and provide options for a non-affiliated alternate event for the excluded sports. "Providing a multi-sport competition for young athletes across the circumpolar north is key to the continued growth and development of our sport community,” Yukon Community Services Minister Elaine Taylor said. “Hosting an event such as this will give our youth the opportunity to compete in a multi-sport environment, and will ensure continued momentum in the development of sport across the North, in keeping with the vision of the Arctic Winter Games tradition.” The newly-formed committee will work to identify a jurisdiction to host the excluded sports, including possible locations in NWT, Yukon, Nunavut and Iceland.

Carla Beam, Board Member, Chairman of the Board, Anchorage Dear Friends, I came to Alaska 34 years ago, but long before then, I felt a connection. When I was little, in the days before DVDs, we had something called a Viewmaster. It was a miniature projector that allowed you to look at photographic slides embedded in little round cards that rotated through the device. My favorite card was of Alaska. I must have looked a thousand times at the photos of mountains, tundra, Native villages, and wildlife. I also heard the stories of my father and his buddies who came north to ski and climb.

  • Arctic Winter Games Social Impact Report 2014
    Arctic Winter Games 2014 Fairbanks, Alaska, United States Prepared by: Dr. Samuel V. Lankford Dr. Larry Neal Mr. Jordan V. Lankford Research Assistant Sustainable Tourism & the Environment Program Recreation Research & Service University of Northern Iowa Introduction In 1970, Government Officials from Alaska, Yukon, Northwest Territories (NWT) and Federal Members of Parliament worked together to host the first Arctic Winter Games [AWG]. Further, contingents from Northern Alberta, Greenland, the Sapmi people of Northern Scandinavia and the Russian Province of Yamal now participate in the Games. The goal of the Games has remained the same over the years: to furnish the opportunity through sport, the social and cultural meeting of Northern peoples regardless of language, race, or creed. The Games are held biennially usually during the month of March. Prior to the start of the Games, participating contingents will determine which athletes will be participating on their representative teams at the Games. Several teams have a selection process which is used to determine the composition of their teams for the Games. This process is conducted by holding regional trials and then territorial trials. The regional trials are normally held in November/December while the territorial trials are held in January, preceding the actual games. Introduction The AWG is designed to include the promotion of traditional aboriginal games based upon survival in the north. There are three categories of sports that are included in the games: major sports, northern sports (Inuit games, Dene games, snowshoeing, dog mushing, Inuit wrestling), and emerging/potential sports. Overall, in 2014 there were more than 18 different sporting events.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The 2006 Arctic Winter Games held in the Kenai Peninsula of Alaska was a terrific experience for all members and supporters of Team Yukon. Our contingent finished forth in the medal standings with a much younger group of people than in previous Games, and their general behavior and attitude was exceptional. As always there are a number of interesting challenges throughout the journey, but it only made the Games more memorable in the eyes of many. Our thanks and appreciation are extended to the 2006 Host Society, the communities of Girdwood, Homer, Kenai, & Soldotna, AWG International Committee, and all of the dedicated sponsors, partners, and volunteers who will be remembered for their tremendous hospitality and commitment to the Games movement.

  • 2014 ARCTIC WINTER GAMES Team Northwest Territories, Chef De Mission - Doug Rentmeister
    CHEF DE MISSION FINAL REPORT 2014 ARCTIC WINTER GAMES Team Northwest Territories, Chef de Mission - Doug Rentmeister Section I Evaluation of Performance of the Host Society Registration and Accreditation · Very few issues with the gems system leading up to the games, though the passport delays left some registrants having to gain access after the system closed. · Need to commend the committee and volunteers in this area as they were very responsive to our needs and concerns. · This is specific to Team NWT but we are anticipating our new database significantly assisting in the future by at least getting baseline data and allowing us to transfer this to gems thereby making the registration process a bit easier for participants. Currently however our system did allow us to really track passports down much better than in previous years. · We still maintain that we be able to access the registration system as soon as possible, i.e. September prior to the games, because of our selection process being initiated at that time and preventing us from having to register the same participant 2-3 times. We have requested this for the last two games but in each instance the system wasn’t ready, we don’t understand why as the forms/information do not vary significantly games to games. · As before we continue to feel that there should be a requirement for any Chef and Asst to meet with the person in charge (in person, prior to the games) of this area to go through and update their team list and accreditation needs…it would save contingents a HUGE headache and allow them an opportunity to deal with those participants that did not register on time or had missing information effectively and quickly.

  • CHEF DE MISSION FINAL REPORT 2012 ARCTIC WINTER GAMES Team Alberta North, Chef De Mission
    CHEF DE MISSION FINAL REPORT 2012 ARCTIC WINTER GAMES Team Alberta North, Chef de Mission Section I Evaluation of Performance of the Host Society Registration and Accreditation The registration was set up well in advance but again some of the suggested changes were not implemented (i.e. coaches assigned to a team) The system is easy to input information by participants. We really appreciated receiving the accreditation tags in advance to the arrival of our participants so that Mission Staff could distribute them to their assigned sport teams. Recommendations In the future all contingents continue to receive from the Host Society the registration system no later than the beginning of December to assist in ensuring the completeness of the registrations and forms as well as providing an adequate time frame for the participants to register. The Host Society waiver form must accompany the registration system when it is provided to the Chefs. That the contingents be allowed to add their own custom fields on the registration form and attach their own documents, e.g. Team Alberta North Code of Conduct. Continue to receive the accreditation tags in advance of the participants arrival so that the contingents can verify and distribute them to the teams Welcome/Arrival Services Arrival at the airport and transferring of participants to busses for school drop offs was very smooth. Once the luggage and sports equipment was loaded, it appeared that it arrived at the schools and sport venues fairly efficiently. Team Alberta North did not have any lost luggage. Luggage and equipment tags were provided in advance but similarity between luggage and equipment tags caused some confusion.
