Access to the Frank Kennedy Centre/Max Bell facilities is for the designated program and is not for general access to the facilities.

Violation of this policy will result in the immediate revocation of membership/facility privileges. Additionally, we strongly encourage all users to refrain as much as possible from using any mobile device, tablet or laptop when in any change/locker/washroom area to avoid suspicion of photos or videos being taken.

Promotional video/photography

On occasion, photos and videos within the sport and recreation facilities may be taken only with express written consent. Photo/video requests can be sent to sport and recreation facilities director Simon Wang at simon.wang@umanitoba.ca.
