No, this is an inclusive event designed to maximize participation. Unlike the North American Indigenous Games, there is no contingent that anyone must compete under. Numerous teams from the same area can be entered and anyone can enter a team with Indigenous athletes from around the world.
The majority of venues will be at Downsview Park in Toronto, Ontario. There are some sport competitions that will be held offsite, however they will typically be within a 10-30 minute driving distance of Downsview Park. Schedules will be released after the final roster deadline has occurred. For more information, please check the Sport Technical Package.
Yes, teams must provide their own competition uniforms. If required, a basic uniform for teams can be provided at an additional cost (all individual registrants in team sports MUST pay this additional cost).

Each sport has different requirements in terms of athletes per team. Please refer to the Sport Technical Package for more information.
