Please make every effort to pack conservatively as we may need to "average" the luggage between the group. We recommend you list the items in your luggage/toolbox that may be considered ‘dangerous’ or suspicious.

Toolboxes:
Drop Off
Skills Canada – Saskatchewan requests that all competitor toolboxes be dropped off at registration (times to be advised – likely on arrival).
To ensure that toolboxes are correctly located in each event site for contest start time and security purposes, toolboxes must be securely packed in appropriate containers and must have labels clearly stating the following:
- Competitor’s Name
- Province / Territory
- Contest Number
- Contest Name
Failure to comply with this labeling system may mean that toolboxes will not be accepted at the Registration. Toolboxes must be labeled properly before Skills Canada – Saskatchewan takes possession and responsibility for the toolboxes.
Close of Competition
All competitors must take responsibility for their toolboxes immediately following the end of their contest. We are tight on time... after the close of the event, collect your toolboxes and immediately go to the transfer bus for our airport departure. Time is very tight for our departure… please go to your transfer bus as quickly as possible after the closing ceremonies.
Our buses must depart no later than 1:15 - 1:20 June 9th.
You will be receiving your labels in your registration package.
