2.20 TBPL Board Members – Annual Offence Declaration

Define the requirement for an annual offence declaration by all Board Members.

This policy applies to all members of the TBPL Board.

Thunder Bay Public Library (TBPL) aims to provide a safe environment for its patrons, employees and assets (financial and otherwise). To support this goal, TBPL requires Police Information Checks (PIC) for all those who work for TBPL. Since Board Members do not interact directly with library patrons it is deemed that an official Police Information Check is not necessary. An annual offence declaration by each Board member is deemed sufficient to protect the interests of TBPL.

The policy will be implemented in a manner consistent with the Ontario Human Rights Code, the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, the Criminal Records Act, and any other applicable legislation.

As a condition of continued membership on the TBPL Board a copy of the attached Annual Offence Declaration Form for Board Members will be completed by each member in January of each year. Completed declarations will be kept on file by the Human Resources Subcommittee of the Board.
