Canada Life Centre identifies rideshare pickup and drop-off on eastbound Portage Avenue between Carlton and Hargrave, and on Donald Street between Graham and St. Mary. Accessible pickup uses the west lane of Donald beside the arena. Check the September 2026 concourse plans to find your level, gate and amenities before joining an entrance queue. The Jets 2026–27 map is for hockey; the separately linked concert, basketball, wrestling and Theatre A diagrams retain their January 2024 revision and illustrate configurations rather than your event’s available seats.
Winnipeg Transit serves the Portage Avenue corridor; verify current detours and the post-event schedule, especially in severe weather.
Confirm return service and last departures for your event’s finish time.

MixedDonald Street's west lane is the accessible drop-off. Medical and diaper bags use X-ray screening at Gates 1, 3, or 6 rather than the smallest-bag lane.
02
MixedEleven lower- and upper-level sections include accessible seating, while suites and lounges are accessible; hockey, basketball, and concert floor maps still shift the best viewing angle.

PositiveThe downtown arena connects NHL scale to Winnipeg's enclosed walkway system, an unusually valuable feature during severe winter conditions.
All food and beverage transactions are cashless. The guide encourages contactless payment at Jets Gear and 50/50 ticket sellers, without establishing that every other purchase is cashless. Bring a supported card/contactless method and confirm options for your purchase. Ordinary ATMs do not establish a cash-to-card service.
Bring an empty soft-sided water bottle only: the prohibited-items section excludes hard-sided bottles even though the water section describes empty bottles more broadly. Fountains/filling stations are outside sections 109, 121 and 312; event-level access depends on your ticket. Food/drinks needed for medical, dietary, allergy or infant-care reasons may be excepted; advise staff at entry and coordinate special needs ahead. Individual events can tighten restrictions.
