  • 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.

  • 2016 ARCTIC WINTER GAMES Team Nunavik-Québec Chef De Mission-Nancianne Grey
    CHEF DE MISSION FINAL REPORT 2016 ARCTIC WINTER GAMES Team Nunavik-Québec Chef de Mission-Nancianne Grey Section I Evaluation of Performance of the Host Society Registration and Accreditation Overall all communication with the Host Society and our Team coordination was adequate. The communication of the Host Society being available to support the online registration and accreditation was excellent. Only a few discrepancies occurred during the online registration (GEMS) – e.g.: initially there was incorrect designation of rooms unavailable in GEMS for the ‘heads to beds’ ratios. Our particular problem was that we had four male cultural performers which were not accounted for by the participation numbers. Sometimes the GEMS system didn’t reflect the updated anticipated participation list (which changed quite often in the weeks prior to the AWG). Another discrepancy was double matches for table tennis athletes, we could not unmark this option for competition but this was fixed before our arrival. Our coordination enjoyed the freedom of logging in the GEMS system at any given time during the Games – especially for the special guests, mission and athletes because many of these team affiliated participants do not bother with the registration process. They just show up to the event and expect the documentation to be ready for them. The accreditation system at the Games worked well – the only difficulty we faced were when the special guests and their guests arrived and didn’t know where to go or what to expect at the registration table. There were too many guests of special guests for some of TNQ’s special guests – which limited what was available to them.

We’ve all seen or heard about the highlights of this past year. However, if you look at a summary, it’s even more outstanding when you realize that each area of our sport had impressive results and/or improvements and highlights. In the area of high performance for the indoor teams, it was encouraging to see our women back in FIVB Grand Prix, gaining valuable experience playing against some very skilled opponents. And then the women’s team went on to the World Championship in Italy to play some of the best teams in our sport; again learning so much from this tournament. On the men’s side, World League was again a highlight, but the World Championship had volleyball fans across the country riveted. A best-ever seventh-place finish was very encouraging, but even more promising is the coaches’ and players’ determination to improve with each tournament, and their collective hunger to gain in the world rankings and set their team up for Olympic qualification.
