@cbcsports: Did you know thay the Arctic Winter Games almost didn’t have any Arctic Sports on the roster? 😮 Thanks to the “Father of the Northern Games” Edward Lennie and Inuvialuit community leaders, Arctic Sports are some of the biggest events at the AWG. We spoke with his son and Northern Games Society member Hans Lennie to hear the story of how his father advocated for Indigenous sports’ presence at the first Arctic Winter Games in 1970. #CBCSports #CBCIndigenous #AWG2026 #Whitehorse2026 #ArcticWinterGames
