First written by an American, edited by a Canadian: As with any country's national anthem, standing and taking your hat off is appropriate. This is a simple and respectful gesture for ANY national anthem or flag. You are not required to salute or make any similar gesture, but a simple respectful acknowledgment is part of being polite to citizens of other nations. For citizens of most nations, the etiquette for the national anthem is to stand, salute (if in uniform), place your hand over your heart (if civilian), or similar. It is unnecessary to place your hand over your heart in Canada but the rest is appropriate as well. It is also rather inappropriate to do anything but these things when the anthem is played officially. It is regarded as rude in some countries to sing along with the national anthem but in Canada it is not and contrarily, in elementary schools it often necessary to sing along the anthem so that children will memorize the words.
It is proper for fans players to remove hats, caps and helmets (if possible) during the national anthem as a sign of respect.

Under most circumstances, you will have a flag there, and everyone will know they should stand and show respect when they heard the anthem. But just to be on the safe side, you may want to tell the leader of the event to encourage everyone to stand up at the same time. Some people will sing along even if there is no official singer to lead them, while others will stand at attention and wait for the anthem to conclude. As for the rules of etiquette, while there are rules for saluting the flag, there are no official rules about the anthem, as you can see from any sporting event: people stand (unless a disability prevents them from doing so); but other than that, some put their hand on their heart, some just stand and sing along, others do nothing but wait politely and then sit when the anthem is over.
By civilian law, no. Military law says you are required to when in uniform.Police and fire agencies also have the legal authority to require they're members to salute when in uniform as well. It is however, part of proper flag etiquette to place your hand upon your chest and remove head garments when the national anthem is sung, not doing so is generally looked upon as poor conduct by other citizens, some citizens even feel it is treason, though there is no court cases to back up that claim.
Certainly not cheering. Getting on with whatever comes next. :)
Enjoy the game. You honored the anthem when it was played for you; that is sufficient. (Note: most etiquette is simply good common sense.)

Be yourself
Please practice proper etiquette when in public.
Yes. It is proper etiquette, although it is also common for them to decline (but that probably depends on your relationship with him/her).
It's proper etiquette to place a napkin on ones lap before eating. As a gentleman, he followed proper etiquette and opened the door for his wife. Ignoring proper etiquette, he started eating before anyone else at the table had been served. To comply with accepted etiquette, he shut his phone off before the church service began.
Etiquette refers to ones behavior; it is one that is usually prescribed for ones job, profession, duty, gathering, party, etc.To have proper etiquette, one must showcase behavior that is suitable and appropriate for said event, profession, or otherwise. In other words, proper etiquette means suitable behavior.
