The theme for the 2026 Manitoba Winter Games was announced last week and, for the first time, includes both English and Cree translations.
The theme is “Together We Play, mamawi-ki-metawanaw.”
The theme was developed in collaboration with the Host Committee, representatives from the Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak, and Cree Language Consultants from the School District of Mystery Lake.
This will be Thompson’s third time hosting the Winter Games, with the first in 1994 and the second in 2018.
In 2026, the games will run from March 1st to 7th, and will feature 12 sports.
It’s expected more than 750 volunteers will welcome 15-hundred athletes along with 300 coaches and managers.
