PART II - POLICE INFORMATION CHECK (PIC) - valid for five years from submission date with NVSD Human Resources.
Please carefully follow the instructions below -- DO NOT submit the PIC to the Capilano School office.
Step 1. Apply for your PIC at your local RCMP station. Please bring two pieces of government issued ID (one with a photo), proof of address, and printed copies of the forms and documents listed below:
The North Vancouver RCMP is located at 147 14th Street East, North Vancouver BC, V7L 2N4.
Step 2. The RCMP will process your PIC and give you a paper copy in a sealed envelope. Please write "Capilano Elementary" on the envelope or on the PIC. Submit the envelope, in-person, to NVSD Human Resources:
The NVSD Human Resources department is located on the 2nd Floor at 2121 Lonsdale Avenue, North Vancouver BC, V7M 2K6. There is visitor parking which can be entered via 21st Street. Hours of operation are: Monday to Friday, 8:30am - 4:30pm.

The NVSD HR department will notify the school office when your PIC has cleared, and the supervising teacher will confirm with the office that applications are complete before volunteer service begins.
Please note that PIC clearance can take 1-3 weeks, so you should apply well in advance of your planned volunteering.
