2010 Arctic Winter Games Legacy Fund

Overview of the 2010 Arctic Winter Games Legacy Fund program:

The Arctic Winter Games are an international celebration of sport and culture. The fund is a legacy of the 2010 Arctic Winter Games which were held in Grande Prairie on March 6 to 13, 2010 and was made possible because of the overwhelming support of the community and the financial discipline of the Host Society. The 2010 Arctic Winter Games were a great success because of the strong community and regional partnerships that were fostered during the planning of the Games. We want to continue to expand these partnerships and create opportunities to bring youth focused, recreation, sport and cultural events to Grande Prairie and region. The 2010 Arctic Winter Games Legacy Fund offers up to $5,000 in funding to bring new and exciting recreation, sporting and/or cultural events for youth to Grande Prairie and region. Our goal is to provide athletes and coaches with a home field advantage – with more sporting events, tournaments, and games in the Grande Prairie region. Funding is awarded to new events (1st year) or a sporting or cultural event that does not occur each year.
