Mahsi, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, I just received a news release today announcing the scheduling of the true Arctic Winter Games to be held in Inuvik in the spring of 1995. Inuvik wishes to expand the scope of their immensely popular Muskrat Jamboree. This will mark the beginning for true winter games north of the Arctic Circle.

---Applause Part of the games will involve truly traditional northern winter sports. Events such as biathlon, snowshoe races, river ice curling and dogteam races will be held. Inuvik will also host the good woman and good man contests.

---Applause

---Laughter

To date, some of the events scheduled so far are international charades, duck and run, reject and deflect, the bureaucratic shuffle race and pass the buck.

---Laughter

---Applause

These sound like fun. So book these dates ahead of time and start practising for the first-ever true Arctic Winter Games. Mahsi.

---Applause
