2008 Arctic Winter Games

Phew! Part of my “busy”ness these past few weeks has been the arrival of almost 2000 young athletes and their coaches to Yellowknife for the 2008 Arctic Winter Games. I volunteered most every day out at the ski hill where the cross country, biathlon and snowshoeing events were held. It was a blast meeting people from Russia, Greenland, the Scandinavian countries, as well as other northerners from Canada and Alaska. Beside volunteering, I took in a lot of the different events, some of the more interesting are the Inuit and Dene games which Rick Mercer does a good job of highlighting in this video. Enjoy!
