The full document is available from the BC Athletics Association Office. All members, employees and volunteers are responsible for active support of this objective:
Q: What is harassment?
A: Harassment is any improper behaviour by any person towards
another which a person knows or ought to know would be unwelcome. It may
include written or verbal abuse or threats, or even unwelcome jokes,
remarks or taunts.
Q: What should I do if I am harassed?
A: You may make your feelings known to the person
responsible for the behaviour, or contact a BC Athletics Harassment
Advisor (see contacts below).
Q: What if I am a minor?
A: A minor may be represented at all stages by a responsible
Adult.
Q: What if I am wrongfully accused of harassment?
A: Wrongful or malicious accusation is itself a form of
harassment. You should contact a BC Athletics Harassment Advisor.
Q: What will a BC Athletics Harassment Advisor do if I complain
about harassment?
A: The Advisor will meet with you, and may attempt to resolve the
conflict informally. Other options, such as formal complaint will be
discussed with you.
BC Athletics member officials may claim $.30 per kilometre for solo driving, and $.43 for car-pools.
Some reminders for officials regarding policies on expense claims:
The BC Officials Committee provides introductory (Provincial level) training through courses and mentoring. Introductory training is usually completed within 12-18 months, and concludes with certification at Level 2. Training courses are intended for 'Field of Play' officials. Other members, such as Event Organizers, or athletes, may enroll out of interest.
TBA
The Level 1 course is a 1-2 hour session. It is generally presented in a classroom setting, but may be 'customized' to meet the needs of a specific group. The course is co-sponsored with a Club or other Community organization, and is free to the participants. Participants are prepared to act as volunteer officials in all branches of Athletics (Track & Field, Road Race, Cross Country, and Race Walk). The content is non-technical and concentrates on:
Please contact one of the officials in your area for information about participating in a level 1 course or to arrange one for your group:
| Vancouver Island | Anne Lansdell |
| Okanagan | Alwilda van Ryswyk |
| Prince George | Corinne Masich |
| Lower Mainland | Sue Kydd |
The Level 2 course is a comprehensive survey of rules & practices for all branches of athletics. This classroom presentation takes 5-6 hours. Completion of Level 1 is a pre-requisite. Candidates who intend to certify only in non-stadium events (Road Race, Cross Country) require only the first section (Running events). Course Registration fee for BCA members is $20+GST / others $25+GST, and includes a copy of the rule book. A practical assignment (passport) is to be completed before certification.
National Level Clinics are usually presented at Championship events. Each Clinic is for a specific discipline, and is required for upgrading to Level 4.
