Community Connections

Volunteer Services

This service is designed to be a central agency to connect community volunteers with agencies in need of support. Those that are interested in volunteering share their interests and skills, and agencies share their volunteer needs. Referrals are given to connect suitable volunteers with agencies in need of support.

Volunteer Police Information Checks (PICs)

This program relieves non-profit groups of the cost of PICs for their volunteers. Volunteers are required to obtain a letter from their respective organizations stating that they are recruiting that person's volunteer services. The letter must be submitted to the RCMP along with a current driver's license with a Hinton address on it. PICs take up to one week to process and are free of charge. Volunteers must pick up their PIC in person and show their driver's license at that time.
