Twenty archers in the Northwest Territories are set to compete in Hay River this weekend for a spot in the Arctic Winter Games’ first archery competition.

Archery isn’t an official sport of the games, but it could become one.

The Arctic Winter Games International Committee is interested in incorporating other events, so for these games, for the first time, they approached a host city about their regionally important sports.

Ian Legaree, the technical director of the Arctic Winter Games’ International Committee, said Sport Yukon and members of the Whitehorse Host Society in 2017 recommended adding archery and freestyle skiing to the 2020 sports roster.
