All volunteers with the Recreation and Culture Division are required to complete the general onboarding process, which includes the following steps:
- Application: Start the on-boarding process by completing the online application (link above).
- Interview: Once your application has been received and reviewed, selected applicants will receive an email inviting them to an interview. This is an opportunity for us to learn about you, your interests, and your experiences.
- References: After an interview, successful candidates will be asked to provide two reference checks. Recommended references include supervisors, coaches, teammates, or peers—anyone (outside of your household) who can speak to your skills and abilities.
- Training: Upon receiving your references, successful candidates will be sent required training materials, which include the Volunteer Handbook, AODA, WHMIS, and Workplace Health and Safety Awareness.
- Accepted Volunteer: After completing your training, candidates will officially become accepted volunteers, eligible to begin supporting various events, programs, and other opportunities.
Additional Training and Certifications
Please note, some volunteer roles may require additional training that is specific to the role and it's responsibilities. Any additional requirements will be clearly communicated prior to scheduling.
Accommodations
Upon request, accommodations due to a disability are available throughout the onboarding process. Please contact the Volunteer Program Coordinator to discuss the circumstances confidentially.
