2. Fill out a volunteer application form AND a letter of declaration form that can be obtained through your child's teacher.

3. Hand in the completed CRC from the RCMP, the volunteer application form, AND the declaration form to your child's teacher. Your CRC stays on our file for 3 years. The declaration form MUST be completed each year.
