Yes, Under the Saskatchewan Human Rights Code (the “Code”) requires the accommodation of persons with disabilities, including persons who use service animals, access to public services and places. Dogs only qualify if they are trained to perform a task or tasks directly related to an individual’s disability, such as guiding people who are blind, pulling a wheelchair, or alerting someone of an imminent seizure.

Pets, emotional support animals (ESAs), comfort animals and therapy animals are not service animals under the Code because they are not trained to perform a task or tasks directly related to an individual’s disability.

Service animals must be allowed to accompany the handler (‘handler’ means owner) to any place in a building or facility where members of the public, program participants, customers, or clients are allowed. Even if a business or public program has a “no pets” policy, they may not deny entry to a person with a service animal.

If it is not obvious what task or tasks an animal has been trained to perform, only two questions may be asked:

• • Is this a service animal required due to a disability?
  • What task or work is the animal trained to perform?

Asking the handler to have the animal perform the task is not allowed. It’s also important to note that service animals are not required to be certified or wear identification of any kind, though some handlers may present a certification and some service animals may wear a vest or other identification.

Everyone is welcome to participate in their age categories, to eligible for prize payouts you must be registered.

Yes, a fire will be kept going for the drum keepers to utilize as needed during the event. This fire is an important part of the ceremonial aspects of the Pow Wow and will be maintained throughout the day.

Yes, photography and video recording will be taking place throughout the event. By attending the Pow Wow, you acknowledge that photos and videos may be taken of you, and these may be used for promotional purposes.
