WVLL’s Risk Management Policy requires every adult (18+) with repetitive contact with WVLL youth to hold a current clean Canada Criminal Records Check with Vulnerable Sectors add-on, by May 1 of each season. This policy affects Team Coaches, Team Assistant Coaches, Team Managers, adult umpires, the Umpire-in-Chief, the Concession Manager and concession assistants if 18 or over, and all Board members.

CRCs are valid for five years. If you don’t have a current CRC naming WVLL as the receiving entity, WVLL’s Safety Officer will assist you in completing the paperwork required and submitting it to the BC Ministry of Justice’s Criminal Records Review Program (CRRP) for review.

If you’ve done this before, you probably already know whether your birthdate matches an existing criminal record and fingerprinting is thus required to prove that record is not you. If you have used the CRRP system for other youth organizations, you can elect to submit that check including fingerprint clearance, straight to WVLL. Otherwise, you will receive a letter from CRRP directing you to take the further step of submitting fingerprints.

Bowen Island and Lions Bay residents go to Squamish RCMP front counter for free online service (it’s no longer necessary to go to Whistler since Squamish is now online too; M-F 8:30 – 4:40, take the letter with you and maybe call 604.892.6100 to check details).

West Van residents go to WVPD at 755 16th Street.  Appointments are required – call the Records Office at 604-925-7300 to make an appointment. Take the letter, pay the $55.00 charge, and submit the receipt to treasurer@westvanll.ca for reimbursement.
