• Starting Friday, February 9^th Parents and guardians will be able to register to volunteer online in the School Engage tab in their MyCBE account. Members of the community without a child in the system can also create a School Engage account to utilize this program. Once volunteers have created an account they can request and receive their volunteer letter required to obtain their police security clearance. Schools will continue to follow the process for generating letters. There are no changes, at this time, to the ePIC application and payment process, currently outlined on the CBE Volunteer InSite page and managed by Calgary Police Service.Once volunteers have their police information check and vulnerable sector clearance document (PIC VS), it can be uploaded and shared directly with the school through the SchoolEngage account.
