Organizers cancel World Indigenous Nations Games in Canada
Posted: Friday, March 25, 2011
The World Indigenous Nations Games have been canceled.
The games were to take place in Winnipeg, Manitoba, in 2012. But organizers weren't able to secure government funding and they ran into logistical problems.
"As time got closer and closer, from a host planning perspective there was obviously a lot of logistical things that need to be looked at — facilities and venues and where to host athletes and house them and those kinds of things," Jeff Hnatiuk, chair of the WIN games steering committee, told CBC News.
The event was to take place over 10 days.
