Civilian Volunteers (CIVs) support authorized cadet activities and shall have successfully completed the screening process (which is a systematic process agreed upon by our partners: The Department of National Defence [DND], and the Navy, Air Cadet and Army Cadet Leagues to confirm that a person can be expected to be reliable and trustworthy to participate in activities in support of authorized cadet activities) via a Police Records Check (PRC) / Vulnerability Sector Screening (VSS) conducted by the applicable League.  You will then be in possession of an identification card issued by the League, and have signed the CIV Agreement.
