Attendees of the First Nations University of Canada powwow at Regina’s Brandt Centre were subject to a bear mace incident Saturday night.
The Regina Police Service was called to the building around 9:30 p.m. to a report of people being assaulted with bear spray.
Officers said they arrived as people were leaving the building.
Witnesses described the suspect as a young man.
The Facebook page for the event said that the powwow was shut down after the incident, but the program would continue Sunday.
