The “We Are All Team NT campaign has emerged as a powerful initiative aimed at shining a spotlight on the unsung heroes who play a crucial role in supporting our Team NT athletes. This campaign recognizes that the success of our athletes is not solely the result of their individual hard work and dedication but is also a testament to the unwavering support provided by a dedicated group of individuals.

From parents and recreation staff to zamboni drivers, teachers, administrators, and many others, these unsung champions work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure that our athletes have the necessary resources, guidance, and encouragement to excel in their respective sports. Their selfless contributions to the growth and development of our athletes deserve to be celebrated and acknowledged.

As part of the campaign, all videos showcasing the stories and contributions of these unsung heroes will be hosted on a dedicated platform, providing a platform to showcase their invaluable work and dedication. The campaign serves as a poignant reminder that achieving greatness requires a collective effort and that every member of our community has a role to play in supporting our athletes’ dreams and aspirations.

To further highlight the campaign and show appreciation for those who support sport and recreation in the NWT, Badminton NT, Table Tennis North, and Hockey NWT have introduced wristbands as a symbol of unity and gratitude. Participants in the campaign will be wearing these wristbands, and if you see one, they may have an extra wristband available for you. It’s a simple yet meaningful way to say “thank you” to those who contribute to the success and growth of sports and recreation in the Northwest Territories.

The “We Are All Team NT” campaign embodies the spirit of unity, gratitude, and community support, emphasizing the importance of recognizing and celebrating the unsung heroes who play a vital role in the success of our athletes. Together, let us stand united in honoring and appreciating the dedication and contributions of these individuals who make Team NT a shining example of teamwork and community spirit.

Together, #weareallteamnt!!!
