2016 Arctic Winter Games Nuuk Greenland’s Bid Proposal for Arctic Winter Games 2016 Mr. Gerry Thick, President Arctic Winter Games International Committee 115 Copper Road Whitehorse, YT Y1A 2Z7 Canada Nuuk, January 15th, 2012 Dear Mr. Gerry Thick, On behalf of the Government of Greenland and the Municipality of Kommuneqarfik Sermersooq it is our pleasure to send Greenland’s petition for hosting Arctic Winter Games 2016. The Greenlandic society looks forward to hosting yet another Arctic Winter Games, held in Greenland’s capital city, Nuuk. We are certain that Nuuk as host town offers the venue for a successful Arctic Winter Games in 2016 just as it did for Arctic winter Games 2002. Greenland offers to serve as host for all of the Arctic Winter Games in 2016. All of the sports competitions are to be held in Nuuk with the exception of the ice hockey competitions for which Greenland has entered into a collaboration with Iqaluit/Nunavut. On behalf of Greenland as the host of Arctic Winter Games 2016, Iqaluit/ Nunavut will hold the ice hockey competitions in Iqaluit. Since 2002, the Greenlandic community has enjoyed striking development in many areas and we have great faith that Greenland’s hosting in 2016 – at a very minimum – will be at the same level as in 2002. We are proud that Greenland, again, is being considered as one of the potential host countries and we will of course strive to offer Arctic Winter Games participants their very best experience. We want to thank The Arctic Winter Games International Committee for showing their confidence in Greenland by allowing it to make a bid for acting as host for Arctic Winter Games 2016. Best regards, Mimi Karlsen, Minister for Family, Culture, Church and Gender Equality and Asii Chemnitz Narup, Mayor of Kommuneqarfik Sermersooq 2 CONTENTS 6 WELCOME 7 PROPOSED DATES 8 PARTICIPATING IN ARCTIC WINTER GAMES – THE ADVANTAGES FOR GREENLAND 8 Domestic advantages 9 THE SPORTS CONFEDERATION OF GREENLAND 9 The Federations 10 The following federations have obtained membership in the International Confederation in their field of Sport 10 Participation in International Games 10 Participation in Arctic Winter Games 11 COLLABOraTION agrEEMENT BETWEEN IQALUIT/NUNavUT AND GREENLAND 11 SPORTSFACILITIES 11 The 15 different sports 12 Sports in 2016 and available facilities and experiences 13 New sports disciplines – a challenge 13 Conducting the ice hockey competitions in Iqaluit 15 NUMBER OF ATHLETE, CULTURE DELEGATIONS, MISSION STAFF, REFEREES, CHAPERONES AND VIP’S 15 Presumed participants in Arctic Winter Games 2016 15 SpORTS faciliTIES IN NUUK 15 The 15 sports will take place at following venues 16 Map of Sport Venues and the Medical Clinic 17 B|X: Biathlon and X-country starting point 19 ARCTIC WINTER GAMES 2016 ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE 19 Overall Organizational structure 21 The period between 2011 and 2013 22 ARCTIC WINTER GAMES 2016 OFFICE STRUCTURE 22 The Arctic Winter Games Staff, will consist of 23 Sport clubs and the Confederation of Sport 24 CARE AND COMFORT 24 Public Schools – dormitories for the Athletes 24 The following Public Schools will be used for the accommodation of the Arctic Winter Games athletes 25 Accommodations for athletes, officials and guest, and food service for athletes in 2016 26 Venue Manager at the Public Schools 26 Accommodation Capacity and Shower Facilities for Athletes at Sports Halls in Nuuk 26 Number of square meters, restrooms and showers connected to each school 27 Maximum capacity in connection with the number of athletes and coaches based on square meters, number of showers and number of restrooms avaiable at the public schools PHOTO ON FRONTpagE: GIF 3 PHOTO MANIPULATION: IRISagER.GL GL .

The capital of Greenland, Nuuk, is the most qualified and obvious city in Greenland to be host soci- ety for Arctic Winter Games 2016. This is due to the size and capacity in Nuuk, logistic possibilities, past experiences both in sports and non-sport events and naturally the experience as host society for AWG2002. Nuuk is a mini-metropolis with everything a capitol should have, just on a smaller scale. It’s a place where the new and the old Greenland come together. Nuuk offers, amongst many things, The Seats of Parliament and Government, The University of Greenland, The National Hospital, many public schools, a 4-star hotel and several other accommodation possibilities, public sports stadiums and swimming stadium, The National Museum and The Cultural Center Katuaq and a varity of busi- nesses have their head offices placed in Nuuk. On the eve of Self-Government, in January 2009, Nuuk became the main city in the municipality of Kommuneqarfik Sermersooq and its 531,900 square km makes Kommuneqarfik Sermersooq the world’s second-largest municipality. More than 16,000 inhabitants live in Nuuk. 6 <BACK TO CONTENT ULRIK BANG/ BANG.GL PROPOSED DATES We are proud to announce that Greenland proposes the dates for Arctic Winter Games 2016 to be: March 5th to March 12th, 2016 The dates have been considered carefully and out of consideration for the logistic possibilities regarding the flight bridge between Kangerlussuaq and Nuuk and hosting the games around new moon. Large winter events are usually placed around new moon, as experience tells us that the weather conditions are more stable. In order to lift in a large number of athletes with Air Greenland from Kangerlussuaq (International Airport) to Nuuk, the planned arrival and departure day needs to be on any given Saturday – with Sunday as alternative arrival/departure day if needed, due to weather conditions. The arrival date is proposed to be March 5th and the departure date March 12th. The actual games will take place from March 6th to March 11th, 2016 – both days included. 7 <BACK TO CONTENT GIF GIF PARTICIPATING IN ARCTIC WINTER GAMES – THE ADVANTAGES FOR GREENLAND Greenland has participated in Arctic Winter Games since 1990, and Arctic Winter Games is today a well-established part of the Greenlandic sports culture. Participation in Arctic Winter Games has strengthened the development of sport in Greenland. Many young athletes have participated actively throughout the years and have enjoyed personal development through their participation in Arctic Winter Games sports. It is not just the engagement in sports which is good for the young athletes, the cultural aspects of Arctic Winter Games clearly provide a rich forum for the young athletes. For many youth, participation in Arctic Winter Games is new and offers the first meeting with Greenland’s neighbors to the west. Many young Greenlandic athletes make their first contact with a more modern and international world during their participation in Arctic Winter Games, either in Canada or Alaska.

    N O R D I C M E D I A T R E N D S 10 Media and Communication Statistics Faroe Islands and Greenland 2008 Compiled by Ragnar Karlsson NORDICOM UNIVERSITY OF GOTHENBURG 2008 NORDICOM’s activities are based on broad and extensive network of contacts and collaboration with members of the research community, media companies, politicians, regulators, teachers, librarians, and so forth, around the world. The activities at Nordicom are characterized by three main working areas. Media and Communication Research Findings in the Nordic Countries Nordicom publishes a Nordic journal, Nordicom Information, and an English language journal, Nordicom Review (refereed), as well as anthologies and other reports in both Nordic and English langu- ages. Different research databases concerning, among other things, scientific literature and ongoing research are updated continuously and are available on the Internet. Nordicom has the character of a hub of Nordic cooperation in media research. Making Nordic research in the field of mass communication and media studies known to colleagues and others outside the region, and weaving and supporting networks of collaboration between the Nordic research communities and colleagues abroad are two prime facets of the Nordicom work. The documentation services are based on work performed in national documentation centres at- tached to the universities in Aarhus, Denmark; Tampere, Finland; Reykjavik, Iceland; Bergen, Norway; and Göteborg, Sweden. Trends and Developments in the Media Sectors in the Nordic Countries Nordicom compiles and collates media statistics for the whole of the Nordic region.

  • 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.
