CRIMINAL RECORD CHECK
All Attendees 18+ Require a Criminal Record Check
The safety and well-being of our youth delegates is a priority. For this reason, all GOV attendees 18 years or older, require valid Criminal Record Check with a Vulnerable Sector Check (CRC-VSC) in advance of the event. This applies to everyone attending, including:
Delegates
Chaperones
Volunteers
Exhibitors
Facilitators
Speakers
Sponsors
Staff
GOV Criminal Record Checks need to be received by BCAAFC before March 5, 2025
Due to the huge number of registrants and participants, a current (dated anytime AFTER January 1, 2024) and clear CRC-VSC must be completed and sent to the BCAAFC prior to arrival at GOV.
If you arrive at GOV without your CRC-VSC being complete, you will not be able to stay and you will not be issued a refund.
