Fees for Volunteers for the two most common police checks are slated for elimination.
As of April 1st, the fees charged by police for Criminal Records Checks and CRC Judicial Matters Checks will be eliminated, this according to a release by the Ontario government.
Northumberland YMCA CEO Eunice Kirkpatrick applauded the elimination of fees.
Kirkpatrick said this will help cut down response times for many organizations.
Kirkpatrick thinks this is a great move toward getting more folks out volunteering.
Volunteers can receive up to five copies of record checks for free, making it easier to apply to multiple volunteering positions.
