RBC Community Champions Volunteer Program
Be part of something unforgettable at the 2027 Provincial Winter Games, hosted by the North Bay Police Service
Volunteers are the heart of the Games—bringing energy, passion, and community spirit to every venue, event, and athlete experience. Whether you’re welcoming guests, supporting competitions, assisting behind the scenes, or helping create a positive and inclusive environment, your time and talents will make a lasting impact.
No matter your background or experience, there’s a role for you. Volunteering is a chance to connect with your community, build new skills, meet incredible people, and be inspired by the determination and achievements of our athletes.

How to become a volunteer
Please note all volunteers will need to obtain/present a Police Record Check, that has been completed in the last year. If you are a resident of North Bay, these can be obtained through the North Bay Police Service. If you are a resident of the surrounding area, yours can be obtained through the Ontario Provincial Police. These can take a few weeks to process so we encourage you to start this process as early as possible. To assist with your application, please download this letter from Special Olympics Ontario, outlining the request for your record check, this will need to accompany your application with both the NBPS or OPP.
If you need assistance or wish to sign up in person, there will be 3 volunteer blitz days at NBPS headquarters, located at 135 Princess Street West, North Bay. At these blitz days, you can sign-up to volunteer AND start your Criminal Record Check. The Blitz dates are:
- Tuesday October 13 - 5pm-8pm,
- Saturday October 24- 9am to noon,
- Wednesday November 4, 9am to noon
From all of our Athletes & Team Members, THANK YOU!!
