IMPORTANT NOTICE – New 2021 Requirements
As introduced at our 2020 Annual General Meeting, we have revised our Membership Policy and it includes new club and coach requirements. All policies are constantly under review by the board and additional changes may arise in the future.
2021 COACH REQUIREMENTS:
- Criminal Background Check – an annual requirement for registering as a Coach. You may submit yours to your Club Registrar or to [email protected]. Athletics Ontario is pleased to be able to offer a fast, convenient and credible online method to request and obtain your police check electronically. For more information. Please visit http://trackiereg.com/2021-AO-Screening for details.
-
In accordance with the Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA), youth records will only be released to federal, provincial or municipal government agencies. Record checks for young persons won’t be conducted for any other purpose. Therefore, annual criminal record checks will not be required for minor coaches (under the age of 18).
