Sport North Federation

Administrative history

The Sport North Federation was incorporated under the Northwest Territories Society ordinance in 1976, to serve as a unifying body for all sports associations in the Northwest Territories. Its purpose is to administer and help raise funds for territorial involvement in the Arctic Winter Games, Canada Games and the Canada Games for the Disabled, as well as to promote amateur sport in the Northwest Territories. The member associations appoint its board of directors and the directors then elect a volunteer executive that is responsible for Sport North Federation operations and policies.

Sport North holds the agreement with the Sport, Recreation and Youth division of MACA (through the Sport and Recreation Council) to manage and deliver Team NWT to Arctic Winter Games. Through this agreement, Sport North coordinates the athlete selection process to create Team NWT, and coordinates Team NWT in getting to and participating in AWG.

Custodial history

Scope and content

This fonds consists of 35 cm of textual material, 151 photographs, four posters, one videocassette (VHS) and one CD-ROM. The records date from 1969 to 2002 and were produced and accumulated by the Sport North Federation and include some materials that may have originated from the Arctic Winter Games Corporation. The bulk of the textual records include correspondence from 1975 about the formation of Sport North; its by-laws and constitution; copies of the Sport North publication "Sports News"; publications, programs and pamphlets from various Arctic Winter Games; the 1984-85 Annual Report for Sport North; and copies of the Sport North 1984 and 1985 manual and directory. The remaining textual material includes two manuals entitled "Dene Games, A Culture and Resource Manual" and "Arctic Sports, A Training and Resource Manual." The material was written by Michael Heine and produced between 1998-2002 by Sport North Federation and the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs. The manuals are accompanied by one CD-ROM which includes written accounts from elders speaking about Dene games, and includes video clips of the finger pull, stick pull, pole push, snow snake and hand games. The videocassette (VHS) is 45 minutes and length and includes archival photographs and film footage of traditional Dene life, as well as detailed footage of the five traditional games played at the Arctic Winter Games. The video shows each event and describes the rules and physical details of the finger pull, stick pull, pole push, snow snake and hand games. The video footage of the five traditional games was taken at the 1998 Arctic Winter Games. The fonds also contains six scrapbooks of newspaper clippings about sports dated from 1977 to 1979, as well as Sport North Federation and Arctic Winter Games posters. The photographs document the first and fifth Arctic Winter Games (AWG).
