 8. Criminal Checks:

2.  Both parts of the online volunteer application must be completed and an updated criminal check record must be purchased from the online volunteer application form.  If the online form is not completely completed and the criminal record check not purchased within 5 days from the date you start the online application form, applicants will have to re-apply for their positions.

​

9. Volunteer Positions.

​​

1. Once you have filled out a online form for a certain position you are automatically approved unless you hear otherwise through an email.  If you are not a good fit from the day you apply for volunteer/director, etc.  you will be notified immediately that you cannot continue.  If we see on your application that you are unwilling to do all that is expected with full participation you will also be advised at that time your assistance is not needed.  Otherwise, you are accepted automatically and from there on you are expected to respectfully fulfill your requirements in order to continue with your position you applied for, i.e. - criminal record checks, assigned duties and requests.

2. Team Lead, Manager, Director, Volunteer, etc.  All positions are on a 3 month probationary period whereas positions can be terminated at any time during that position, or after if the position is not working out for the organization.

3. Once a director has made it past the 3 month period then the only way they could be excused from their post is to be either voted off by other directors, pressured to resign, or should they want to be excused permanently due to an illness, or other family situations where they need to resign, or if they just choose to resign themselves.

4. Directors will be responsible for the total function of the non profit organization making sure it acts out within the laws and regulations of Ontario and Canadian federal laws concerning non profits and charities.
