Canada Winter Games
Archery joined the Canada Games summer program in 1977 and remained there until 1997. Archery returned to the Canada Games in 2003 on the winter sport program.
Featuring notable alumni such as veterans Crispin Duenas, and Jason Lyon, as well as rising stars Amelia Gagné, Andrew Fagan, and Virginie Chénier, the sport of archery has had an important impact on the history of civilization.
Technical Package
Technical Packages are a critical part of the Canada Games. They guide the selection of athletes by prescribing the age and eligibility requirements, assist the Host Society by detailing competition formats and scoring procedures, assist Provincial/Territorial (P/T) Chefs de Mission in verifying eligibility, help with budgeting by describing the number of participants permitted, advance coach certification by stating minimum requirements, and generally contribute to athlete development by identifying each National Sport Organization’s (NSO) version of athletes in the “Train to Compete” phase of its Long Term Development (LTD) model, or other suitable phase of LTD as justified by the NSO.
Technical Packages are developed 36 to 24 months prior to the Canada Games primarily by NSOs, following the Canada Games Council’s (CGC) Principles that Govern Technical Packages. As the overall governing body of the Games, the CGC has the ultimate authority over Technical Packages, but this authority is exercised only with the knowledge and understanding of the concerned NSO.
Relevant Games stakeholders, specifically Provincial/Territorial Sport Organizations (P/TSOs) and P/T team staff, are encouraged to review the Technical Package in detail to ensure a thorough understanding. If an individual wishes to seek clarification or initiate a change to a Technical Package leading up to a Games, the request should be first directed to the NSO or the Chef de Mission. The NSO or Chef de Mission will submit the requested change or clarification to the CGC for consideration. Timelines for requesting changes to major elements of the Technical Package (i.e. team sizes, age categories, eligibility restrictions, events, competition formats) are outlined in the Principles that Govern Technical Packages. Minor corrections will be considered at almost any time, but will be increasingly difficult to achieve within six [6] months of the Games. These time frames reinforce the importance of complete understanding of the Technical Package by Games stakeholders early.
