Venues included the Centre for Kinesiology at the University of Regina and the Eventplex at Regina Exhibition Park (now part of the REAL District).[1] The planning and execution of the games was overseen by the Project Management Institute, coordinating 6,000 volunteers on a 40-month project with a budget of $23.4 million.[2] The games concluded with a financial surplus which benefited the Dreams and Champions legacy program, and more than $600,000 of sporting equipment was donated to organizations in the area.[1] The upgrades to Regina's sports facilities led to the city bidding for the 2008, 2011 and 2014 North American Indigenous Games (NAIG), ultimately hosting in July 2014.[3][4]
