CRIMINAL RECORDS CHECKS/VULNERABLE SECTOR CHECKS 2022-23 SEASON

Options for CRC/VSC

For the 2022-23 Season, you have 2 options for completing the CRC/VSC: 

1) Backcheck through the Halifax Regional Police Please select the Vulnerable Sector Check option ONLY.  You will not be reimbursed if you select the wrong option.   You must complete all steps required - including entering the code received from the Halifax Regional Police to ensure that your Backcheck letter is fully completed.  Avoid delays or rejection of your CRC/VSC by following all the instructions.  If you typically require fingerprints to complete your CRC/VSC or if you need to declare a previous conviction, please do not use this option.  Once you have completed your CRC/VSC, please email a copy to riskmanagement@chbawings.org by December 1. 

2) Complete the CRC/VSC through the RCMP's Cole Harbour Detachment  Please print the letter from the Risk Manager CRC and VSC Volunteer Letter 2022-2023   (https://chbawings.org/uploads/coleharbourmha/menu_documents/8368.pdf) - to have the check completed. Once you have completed your CRC/VSC, please email a copy to riskmanagement@chbawings.org by December 1.   Please use this option if more convenient for you or if you typically require fingerprints to complete your CRC/VSC or if you need to declare a previous conviction.
