Can You Bring a crossbody bag to Canada Life Centre?
No — crossbody bags are not permitted at Canada Life Centre in Winnipeg. The arena bans non-clear bags and purses, and crossbody bags fall under this restriction regardless of size. You will need to use a compliant clear bag (up to 14"×14"×6") or an approved small clutch instead. A clear fanny pack offers similar hands-free convenience and meets the clear bag requirement.
