  • All new volunteers to KMHA will require a Police Check.
  • Past volunteers who have been continuously involved with the KMHA and have a valid Poice Check on file from 2010 onwards, will not be required to redo the process.
  • All KMHA volunteer members who have a police check that is older than 2009 or before, are required to get a new Police Check.
  • Ottawa Police Services will not be conducting a bulk Police Check Clinic for KMHA Volunteers.
