An Ottawa Inuit organization will hold its inaugural Southern Ontario Inuit Games on Feb. 3.
Tungasuvvingat Inuit announced the games on Facebook last month.
Competitors are set to battle it out in events including arm pull, one-foot high kick, airplane (a strength and endurance competition where one person holds a rigid body position with their arms straight out to the sides and feet straight back while three carriers carry them), and kneel jump.
The announcement said there will be prizes, live performances and food at the event. The games will be held in Ottawa’s TD Place Arena at 1015 Bank St.
People aged 18 to 29 can register by no later than Jan. 19. Registration is limited to 40 participants.
Further details, including registration, can be found on the Tungasuvvingat Inuit Facebook page.
