Vulnerable Sector Check (aka VSC)

Anyone who has direct contact with children (on the bench, during practices, etc.) requires to have a VSC completed, including all executive board members. A VSC is required to be completed every 3 years. On the 'off years' a VSC declaration letter is required. Completed VSC forms are to be collected by Kayla Zylstra, our club president. It's mandatory that you keep a copy of your own VSC. VSC are now being sent out via email. When the VSC is issued, a link is sent to your email.  You are only able to download it for 2 weeks after it's been issued. After it's been downloaded, it can be printed/emailed to Kayla. 

OPP website link - read instructions and click on the blue button at the bottom of the page to apply for your VSC. When you have completed your VSC, you will receive an email confirmation that the application has been submitted.

VSC Volunteer Letter #1 
The VSC volunteer confirmation letter is required to apply for a VSC and have the fee waived.

CW (Central West Broomball) has developed a new VSC letter to replace the letter from FBAO that we have used in the past. Use the below google doc to submit a request for your personalized letter. For the 2024/2025 season, CW are aware of the backlog in coaches receiving their personalized letter. The OPP is also experiencing a lengthy delay in completing VSCs. With these 2 delys, it is very possible that the VSC will not be completed by the required date in November, CW has provided a couple of options while experiencing these delays:

1. They will be using the request for a VSC letter, via the google doc, as the commitment that a VSC application with the OPP will/has been completed. While waiting for the VSC to arrive, a declaration can be signed. If you have used the VSC letter from the original email, and have already filled out the OPP application, I would still request a new VSC letter, so that they have the 'paper trail' that a VSC has been applied for. 

2. If you have a VSC completed for another sport, in the last 2 years, they will accept it along with a signed Declaration, while you wait for a broomball specific VSC. To clarify, you still need to fill out the google form and apply for a new VSC.
