Regina police officers will also be on duty at the game. A press release said officers will be wearing surgical masks due to the large crowd and inability to keep a two-metre distance.
“Even though public health orders are lifted, please give consideration to pandemic safety,” the release stated.
Drivers are also reminded to be patient and leave early to find enough time to park.
A free stadium shuttle is available for those who aren’t planning on driving.
