Yukon Energy is sponsoring the Dene Games and Arctic Sports portion of this year's Arctic Winter Games, which are taking place in Whitehorse from March 4th to 10th. As a lead-up to the games, we thought it would be fun to run a contest to test your knowledge of the games. At stake are some free event tickets and limited edition trading pin sets. To participate in the contest you must first 'like' us on our Facebook page.Here's how the contest will work: we'll ask one trivia question a week. Post your answer in the comment section of the status update, and if you are correct, your name will go into a hat for a prize. We'll draw one name each week. All answers must be in to us by noon on Friday, and we'll announce the winner that afternoon.This week's trivia question has already been posted on our Facebook page. Please go take a look, and good luck!
