Volunteers at Curl BC Member Facilities, club coaches and competition coaches may request to complete a Criminal Record Check (CRC) through Curl BC.
Under BC law, any volunteer involved in administering, coordinating, or coaching youth programs, leagues, activities, or teams is required to complete a CRC.
Coaches and volunteers should complete a CRC FOUR weeks prior to their first program or activity.
To request an invitation to complete the online CRC: Click here
- Ensure that you indicate which organization(s) should be forwarded the results of the CRC.
- Volunteers will verify their identity using their BC Services Card and BC Services Card App.
- Use of the online service will greatly decrease the time required to complete a check and any delay in obtaining your CRC.
- The results of the CRC will be sent directly by email to Curl BC.
- CRC results may take up to four weeks to process.
- If you have further questions please contact Curl BC staff.
At no cost, volunteers may share the results of their clear checks with other registered organizations through the CRRP online service reducing the need for multiple checks.
To further enhance the protection of children, the CRRP will require fingerprints for those who share a date of birth and gender with a pardoned sex offender (vulnerable sector check) as per the national RCMP policy. These prints will be at the applicant’s expense as required by their local policy agency. However, in almost all circumstances, an individual will only be required to be fingerprinted once every ten years through the program.
If there is an issue with the criminal record check, the volunteer will be required to go through the current process through the local police service.
- Volunteers can contact Curl BC to provide Volunteer CRC Letter to take to their local police service.
Additional information about the CRRP is available on the Ministry of Justice website at https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/safety/crime-prevention/criminal-record-check
