Background

On August 11, 2019, a meeting was held in Hallefors, Sweden at the 2019 World Championships of Double-bitted Axe Throwing which included representatives of the 14 nations present.  It was decided based on unanimous vote that Canada would host the next World Championships in 2021 through organization of the Nova Lumberjacks Society (NLS) in cooperation with Wild Axe Productions.   ​

Every two years, the World Championships of Double-bitted Axe Throwing brings together elite axe throwing competitors from all over the globe. The event has previously been hosted in Hallefors, Sweden in 2019 and Munster (Hessen), Germany in 2017.
