Sponsor Feature: Arctic Hero Sponsors: Investing in the North, Celebrating Our People

March 10, 2026

Dakwakada Capital Investments, Northerm Windows and Doors, and Castle Rock Enterprises are honoured to stand together as Arctic Hero Sponsors of the 2026 Arctic Winter Games. As organizations deeply rooted in the Yukon, we share a common purpose: to support strong, resilient northern communities, and to invest in opportunities building sustainability for future generations.

The Arctic Winter Games are a powerful celebration of northern identity, Indigenous cultures, youth leadership, and the connections that bring together the circumpolar communities. For us, sponsoring is a meaningful way to support an event that reflects our values of cultural pride, collaboration, and community well-being.

Dakwakada Capital Investments is the economic arm of the Champagne and Aishihik First Nations, focused on creating long-term prosperity through values-driven investments. Supporting the Games aligns with Dakwakada’s commitment to economic reconciliation and creating opportunities for Indigenous and northern people to thrive.

Northerm Windows and Doors is proudly 100% Indigenous-owned and manufactures high-performance windows, doors, and garage doors designed specifically for the northern climate. Built, tested, and proven in the Yukon, Northerm’s custom products reflect the innovation and resilience required to live and work in the North.

Castle Rock Enterprises brings over 30 years of experience delivering essential services and infrastructure projects across the Yukon. From construction and maintenance to community-focused services, Castle Rock plays a vital role in supporting the places where northerners call home.

Many of our employees, partners, and families have personal connections to the Games, as athletes, volunteers, spectators, and supporters. The Games leave a legacy that extends beyond the closing ceremonies, contributing to community pride, economic activity, and intergenerational connection.

We look forward to welcoming visitors and cheering on the spirit of the Games.
