SMILE! YOU’RE ON CAMERA! The tournament is open to the public and media. If a parent/caregiver does not wish to have their child’s picture posted on the Destination Imagination Yukon website, Facebook page or other Destination Imagination related materials, please advise us! One of our student film experts from FH Collins Secondary School will be compiling a number of photos and video during the tournament that will form a video montage of what Destination Imagination is and what does DI look like in Yukon? Keep an eye out for our film expert and get ready to talk DI!
CANTEEN: There will be a canteen available during the tournament which will include lunch options at a very minimal charge. Cookies, chips and juice boxes will also be made available.
