2005 Canada Summer Games

The 2005 Canada Summer Games were held in Regina, Saskatchewan, during 6–20 August 2005. This was the 20th edition of the games and marked the province's centennial year. 3,511 athletes competed in 101 events across 16 sports, including the first appearance of women's wrestling at the games. The games also had the first appearance of diversity ambassadors and athletes competing in multiple sports. Attendance was estimated at 12,000 visitors. Venues included the Centre for Kinesiology at the University of Regina and the Eventplex at Regina Exhibition Park (now part of the REAL District). 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. 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. 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. == Medal standings == == Venues == Athletics – Douglas Park Track Baseball – Currie Field and Optimist Park Basketball – The Centre for Kinesiology, Health and Sport, University of Regina Canoeing – Wascana Lake Cycling – Lumsden, Wascana Trails, University of Regina and Wascana Park Diving – Lawson Aquatic Centre Field hockey – Taylor Field Rowing – Wascana Lake Rugby union – Regina Rugby Park Sailing – Saskatchewan Beach Women's Soccer – Mount Pleasant Sports Park Men's Soccer – Moose Jaw Women's Softball – Elks Athletic Park, Moose Jaw Men's Softball – Rambler Park Swimming – Lawson Aquatic Centre Tennis – Lakeshore Tennis Club Volleyball – The Centre for Kinesiology, Health and Sport, University of Regina Wrestling – Regina Exhibition Park == See also == Canada Games Canada Summer Games List of Canada Games == References ==
