SERVICE AND GUIDE DOGS
Guide and service dogs (certified by the BC Registrar's office) are welcome on-site and must be registered in advance. They must have legally required up-to-date vaccinations (documentation may be requested).

Companion, emotional support, or therapy animals are not permitted.

Only certified guide and service dogs that are under the proper care of their owners will be granted accreditation. The service animal must remain leashed or harnessed by their handler's side at all times. If a harness or leash impedes the service animal’s work, the owner must be able to control the service animal through other methods.

We recommend appropriate animal protective gear (e.g., ear, foot, and/or eye protection) to be worn during the event, as long as it does not impede the guide or service dog's work. High decibel levels near or at stages may cause permanent hearing damage to the animal.

Please be mindful of animal waste and dispose of it in refuse areas.

Individuals with a guide or service dog are responsible for and liable for any injury or damage caused by the animal.

BRING SHADE
The accessibility camping area offers minimal to no natural shade. Bringing a shade structure or other suitable solutions can help create a comfortable and shaded space. Preparing in advance will help support a more enjoyable experience.
