Host Society
The Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo was awarded the opportunity to host the Arctic Winter Games. This announcement came on February 6, 2019 from the Arctic Winter Games International Committee’s former President, Mr. John Flynn.
The Host Society was later subsequently incorporated under the name of Wood Buffalo Arctic Winter Games Host Society. With a unique blend of skills, connections and experience, the Host Society is well-suited to the needs required to fulfill the mandate of the Arctic Winter Games International Committee.
