2023 Arctic Winter Games

The Arctic Winter Games in Wood Buffalo were the first in 5 years; certainly, a joy for the games to return in 2023 as athletes, coaches, officials, and supporters from across the Arctic came together to compete in 19 different sports from January 29th to February 4th.

Congratulations to Team Alberta North Alpine Ski Team, who won 2nd place in the Team Alpine event, and to Team Yukon who won 1st! Despite the challenges of cold weather, the games went on. We love to see the athletes having so much fun on the hill!

Thank you to everyone involved in making the AWG happen. We encourage you to view the AWG website to find information on the importance of the AWG and the various events, and to explore photo galleries.

We also extend a huge Thank You to the ROC, The City of Fort McMurray, all the Volunteers, the Fort McMurray Ski Team and the Nitehawk Ski Team from Grand Prairie.
