Our Team Alberta North volleyball teams had a fantastic week at the 2023 Arctic Winter Games in Wood Buffalo, Alberta. Both teams went undefeated through the round robin, advanced to the gold medal finals, and won! The women’s team had a great battle against Alaska, and came out on top, bringing home a gold ulu! The men’s team went up against Yukon, and managed to come out on top in straight sets, winning the gold ulu!
A big thank you to all the volunteers and organizers who put on an amazing sporting and cultural experience for all the participants!
