Calm Room

Hustle and bustle of the convention too much for now? Check out the calm room, lower lighting, quieter, puzzles, colouring, other restoring activities. (Photos from previous)

All prop weapons are subject to inspection and approval at the weapons check (info desk) upon each entry or re-entry to the convention (even if it’s already been inside (re-approval should be relatively trivial if it has been, but we have to check to be sure)).
We will attach a marker of tape or ribbon to the weapon to show it has been through the weapons check process. If you want to remove it for a photo op or performance at the cosplay contest, reattach it afterwards.

The following items are forbidden from being brought into the convention:
Absolutely no firearms are permitted, functional or non-functional. This includes those firearms that have no loaded ammunition or the firing bolt or pin removed.
Live edge or metal-bladed props (including axes, daggers, hatchets, knives, kunai, shuriken, swords and similar).
Functional or non-functional replica firearms (including airsoft guns, BB guns, cap guns, paintball guns, and pellet guns).
Functional projectile props (including blow guns, crossbows, drawn bows, slingshots).
Blunt items (including but not limited to manufactured tools, clubs and sports sticks. Foam or other safe material replicas should be used).
Chemical irritants (including mace, pepper spray).
Any props that release aerosol, smoke, or vapors.
Explosives (including firecrackers, caps, and fireworks).
Any props that may cause a mess (silly string, filled water guns, water balloons, bubbles, and similar).
Any other weapon prohibited for public carry by Canadian law.

The following items may be allowed but are subject to approval by the convention staff (we may make restrictions that these are only allowed during the costume contest, for example):
Foam blasters without projectiles.
Hard Props (including those made of metal, fiberglass, hardwood and glass).
Worn props including armour that is studded, spiked, sharp or otherwise could pose a risk to the wearer and other attendees.
Shields.

Be prepared to remove a prop from the convention if it’s not approved at the weapons check – have somewhere to put it outside the building.
