The 2023 Nova Scotia Lumberjack Championships are a wrap!
We had 30 competitors from across the Maritimes competing in 8 timbersports disciplines including bow saw, underhand chop, standing block chop, hot saw, double buck, water boil, axe throwing and stock saw. We even had a team relay event!
When the chips settled it was Brittany MacLean from Prince Edward Island and Geoff Larkin from Nova Scotia taking the overall titles and becoming the 2023 Women's and Men's Nova Scotia champions.
FULL RESULTS
Congratulations to all the athletes in putting on a terrific event. We had a great crowd and the lake front in Hibernia campground made for the perfect setting.
We want to thank Harry Freeman and Son Ltd. for providing the poplar timber for this year's competition. Thanks also to Nova Scotia Guides Association for providing the venue. And thank you to Maritime Lumberjack Association, Stihl Timbersports, Axe to Grind Foods, Nova Scotia Community College and Wild Axe Productions for their support!
HISTORY
The Nova Lumberjacks Society organized the inaugural Nova Scotia Lumberjack Championships in 2016 in Truro, Nova Scotia as part of the Maritime Lumberjack Association (MLA) professional circuit. It was a one day competition that hosted axe throwing, wood chopping and sawing races and a kettle boil to finish the show. The event was well attended by spectators and athletes and was ultimately voted "Best Competition" of the 2016 MLA pro circuit.
The NS Championships were again hosted in 2017 in Truro with a similar format before moving to Barrington, Nova Scotia in 2018 where the format was expanded to two days with more events added to the line up including log rolling, double buck, bow saw and qualifying rounds and championship finals for chopping and sawing disciplines. Once again, the event was incredibly well received by spectators and athletes and was voted Best Competition of the 2018 MLA pro circuit. In 2019, the event was held again as a two day competition in Barrington with Junior and Masters divisions added.
Since inception, the Nova Scotia Lumberjack Championships have welcomed athletes from across Canada and the United States and paid over $35,000 in prize money to competitors!
The event has been filmed by the TV series "Lumberjacks" on three occasions (2016, 2017 and 2018) which featured on TSN, Wild TV and Game TV networks and can now be viewed on the Lumberjacks TV YouTube channel.
