Parking
We suggest you drop people off in front of the Kinesiology Physical Activity Centre (PAC) and walk to the Bowl from there. You may park in the Stadium Parkade ($6 per day with no re-entry). There will be reserved parking spots on campus for school buses (contact the ASC for more information). For seniors and those with reduced mobility, a shuttle bus will be available to drive from the parkade to the powwow (the shuttle will leave the parkade approximately every 15 minutes).
Protocol and Audio and video recording
Spectators should stand and remove hats during the grand entry, Flag and Victory songs and the invocation. Please limit your use of flash photography as it poses a distraction while the dancers are performing. We suggest asking for permission of the performers before taking pictures or video of them. The University of Saskatchewan reserves the right to take photographs of this event, including attendees, for use in future promotional materials.
