Risk Management
Curl BC makes every effort to ensure that the safety of members remains a top priority by continuing to support a variety of programs that are developed both strategically and ethically. Our Vision, Mission and Values, as outlined in Curl BC’s Strategic Plan, form the basis of our programming and services.
Screening
Individuals who coach, volunteer, officiate, deliver development programs, accompany teams to an event/competition, who are paid staff, or otherwise engaged with vulnerable individuals and who fall under Curl BC’s authority shall be screened according to Curl BC’s Screening Policy. Curl BC expects that member clubs will screen such individuals according to their own applicable policies.

Responsible Coaching Movement
The Responsible Coaching Movement (RCM) is a call to action for sport organizations, parents, and coaches to enact responsible coaching across Canada- on and off the field. To reduce risk in sport, the RCM focuses on three key areas: Rule of Two, Background Screening, and Ethics & Respect Training.
By signing the pledge of the RCM, Curl BC and Curling Canada is helping ot ensure the protection of both athletes and coaches.
