Survey on the state of volunteerism in Prescott-Russell
In the winter of 2025, we polled more than 50 non-profit organizations to assess our region’s current situation on volunteerism. We will use the results of the survey to create a round table on volunteerism for the Prescott-Russell region.

Regional round table on volunteerism
The aim of the table is to get non-profit representatives together to address issues surrounding volunteerism. Sharing ideas and resources could help us all in revitalizing community participation.
The first meeting of the round table will be held on Monday March 17, 2025 from 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. You may choose to participate in person or by videoconference.
To attend the meeting, please register by March 13th at 3:00 p.m. by filling out this short registration form.

Police Record Checks
Does your non-profit organization request a police record check from your volunteers as part of your screening process? Follow these steps.
As an organization, you have to give a letter to your potential volunteer so they may include it with their police record check application. Your letter must:
- Be on your organization letterhead
- Dated
- Have the applicant's legal name
- Indicate that the position is a volunteer position
- Include details about the role
- The type of record check requested
- Be signed by an authorized person from your organization
The potential volunteer is responsible for making the online application. There are no fees when asking for a record check for a volunteer.
There are three types of police record checks.
- Level 1 - Criminal Record Check (CR)
- Level 2 - Criminal Record and Judicial Matters Check (CRJM)
- Level 3 - Vulnerable Sector Check (VSC)
For more information on the three levels, visit the Ontario website Police record checks.
For more information on the record check application process for volunteers, visit the Ontario Provincial Police.
