FAQ
Q. Can I supply a CRC from my employer or another organization?A. No, Minor Hockey requires a vulnerable sector check, this is only available to select organizations. SDMHA requires CRC results to be directly transmitted to the association, not delivered by the person requesting the check. This ensures that SDMHA is getting a true and accurate CRC and the proper background check is completed.Q. Can I get my CRC completed on my own with the RCMP/municipal police or Commissionaires?A. No, municipal police and Commissionaires do not complete vulnerable sector check, only RCMP can complete and will only do so for certain organizations (e.g. youth sport)Q. How do I request a CRC if I cannot access the online portal, or I don't have a BC Services Card?A. Contact the Registrar for the paper form version. You will fill it out and our president will verify ID, sign and submit to the RCMP in Sooke.
