Just a reminder that if you are considering volunteering (and we hope you are) the Coquitlam RCMP is encouraging all would-be volunteers to start the criminal record check process as soon as possible.
Policy changes introduced last year require anyone planning to work, either professionally or in a volunteer capacity in the “vulnerable sector” to complete an enhanced criminal record search process that may include the need to submit fingerprints in order to get the record check approved. The vulnerable sector policy protects the safety of kids and youth by catching pardoned sex offenders who are attempting to secure volunteer or professional positions using different names. Under the policy, any applicant whose gender and birth date match those of one of the 14,000+ pardoned sex offenders in the national sex offender registry will be required to submit fingerprints, which can extend the record check process by weeks or months.
Click here to visit the Coquitlam RCMP Front Counter Services webpage and download the forms needed to start the criminal record check process.

Also a reminder that all individuals working with our players as well as all parents new to CMHA are required to take Respect in Sport. There will be a Respect in Sport coming out soon specifically for parents so please keep checking the website for updates

KidSport Tri-Cities is holding their much anticipated Annual Summer Used Sporting Goods Sale:
Saturday, August 13th from 10am until 2pm
Coquitlam Main Arena
To make this event a huge success KidSport needs equipment!
Families are encouraged to donate and drop off their used sporting goods of any kind from July 29th to August 12th at the following locations:
Port Coquitlam Rec Centre
Port Moody Rec Centre
Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex
Cyclone Taylor Sports – 562J Clarke Road

If you have used equipment taking up space in your garage or basement, this is a great opportunity to free up some space, donate the equipment (including bikes) and make a great contribution to our community.
Please remember to also come by the sale for some amazing deals – Blow-out prices after 1:00pm.
This event will only be a success if we have a good selection of equipment, and we need the community’s help to ensure we have that equipment.
Since 2006, thanks to the generous support of our sponsors and donors, KidSport Tri-Cities has helped over 1000 youth to participate in organized sport including more than 400 in 2010 alone.
Our bi-annual used sporting goods sales are very important for us – putting quality used equipment in the hands of families and raising much needed funds to subsidize sport registration fees for families in need.
