1990
The 1990 Games in Yellowknife were considered a great success due to the support of the Honourable Gordon Wray, the Government of the Northwest Territories and the major support of the City of Yellowknife. With the addition of guest participation by Greenland and Magadan along with new permanent partner, Alberta North, team competition was enhanced. 18 sports were played, including badminton, basketball, cross country skiing, curling, Dene Games, dog mushing, figure skating, gymnastics, hockey, indoor soccer, Inuit Games, shooting, ski biathlon, snowshoe biathlon, snowshoeing, triathlon, volleyball, and wrestling. CBC carried the Games highlights on the national network for the first time.
