Our office has been buzzing all day as we are getting ready to head out to the opening ceremony.
We have a team of seven reporters — from Nunavut, Northwest Territories and also Whitehorse — who will be out in the field, meeting athletes, talking to people in the crowd and capturing photos and moments that bring the ceremony to life.
The Arctic Winter Games bring together young athletes from across the circumpolar North to compete in different sports and traditional games.
The games take place every three years.
Think of it like a mini Arctic Olympics!
