Do I need to bring anything to Training?
Yes. On the Friday, August 30 training day, all volunteers must present their police record checks in order to trade it in for their jerseys – volunteers who cannot present their police record check will not be participating in Fall Orientation. All training days are mandatory.
How do I get my Police Record Check?
Please visit the Police Record Check page for details about the process.
How long does a police record check take to process?
The time varies depending on how busy the police station is, but it is usually takes at least 6 – 8 weeks. We strongly recommend all volunteers to get their police record checks done by beginning to mid- June in order to have their Police Record Checks ready by August 30, 2018

What is Shinerama?
Shinerama is an organization founded in the 1960s to help raise funds for Cystic Fibrosis (CF). CF is a genetic disease that causes thick mucus to build up in the pancreas and the lungs and there is no cure. Every year, Fall Orientation week integrates Shinerama throughout the week to support the fight against cystic fibrosis. Learn more on the Shinerama page.
