As you know, all Coaching Staff, Trainers, Managers, Board Members, On Ice Volunteers and "At Large Volunteers are required under OMHA rules to be screened. This is being done with a Vulnerable Sector Screening (VSS). The Vulnerable Sector Screening will be valid for 4 years but your are required to sign a Declaration for the 3 years after your Vulnerable Sector Screening has been submitted.
There is no cost to either you or the Orillia Minor Hockey Association to have this VSS done but it is your responsibility to have it done and submitted to Cathy O’Connor. Here is the procedure for obtaining a Vulnerable Sector Screening:
- Print of a copy of the Vulnerable Sector Check Form and Vulnerable Sector Letter (OPP) Copy): Vulnerable_Sector_Check_2019-20.pdf and Vulnerable_Sector_Letter_2019_20.pdf

- Please ask for a receipt that you submitted your Vulnerable Sector Check Form with the date you submitted it and turn it into the hockey office at Rotary Place. You must ask the staff at the local detachment for the receipt, they will not ask you if you need one. There is a box outside the hockey office to submit documents.
