We want to ensure the UM Sport and Recreation Facilities are a place of privacy and safety for all members, guests, and staff. We understand that social sharing is widespread, and we love to see our members sharing their successes, but we want to do so in a way that doesn’t impact the experience of others.
Please keep the following in mind while capturing photos or videos in our facilities:
- Photos, videos, and video streaming ARE permitted in public areas of our sport and recreation facilities.
- For the safety and privacy of all users, photos, videos, and video streaming are NOT permitted in the change/locker rooms, public washrooms, saunas and showers at any time.
- When taking photos and videos in public spaces, please respect the safety and privacy of other users. Members, guests, or staff must not be captured in photos or videos without their verbal permission. This includes all UM Sport and Recreation 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 so to avoid suspicion of photos or videos being taken.
Promotional video/photography:
On occasion, photos and videos for professional purposes within UM Sport and Recreation Facilities may be taken but only with expressed written consent. Photo/video requests can be sent to UM Sport and Recreation Facilities Director Simon Wang at simon.wang@umanitoba.ca.
