The Honourable Lela Evans, Minister of Labrador Affairs and Minister of Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation, is acknowledging the efforts of the Nunatsiavut Government in sending an official delegation to the 2026 Arctic Winter Games in Whitehorse, Yukon.

The delegation will meet with organizers, observe sporting and cultural events, and learn from other northern contingents about athlete development, cultural programming, logistics, and governance. The delegation includes two youth cultural performers who have been invited to participate in the international cultural showcase.

The Arctic Winter Games provide an opportunity to connect Inuit youth across the North and showcase their culture and talents in the spirit of friendly competition.

“This is the first time the Nunatsiavut Government has led a delegation of Labrador Inuit to the Arctic Winter Games. It is good to see how this initiative is helping to build relationships and connections between Inuit. I wish the delegation the best of luck as they learn about what would be needed to bring a Nunatsiavut team to the games in the future.”
