Recertification is for existing and returning officials.

The 2026-27 season is a 'new' rulebook year.

The courses for this season have not been posted yet. We will try our best to list the available courses here for the local Fredericton area. It will be a two part process; online first followed by an in-person course.

Slides outlining major changes for 2026-28.

VSC/CRC Check
All officials should verify that your VSC is still valid and has an end-date beyond March 31st, 2027. If you requiring a VSC, you have one of two options;

• Residents of Fredericton

  
  

  • you can apply for your records check with the City of Fredericton Police department online.
  • their online process is convenient, but can take 2-3 weeks to be completed (plan accordingly)
  • be sure to request the VSC (Vulnerable Sector Check) option which will include the CRC (Criminal Record Check).
  • Criminal Record Check - City of Fredericton (online)
• Residents outside Fredericton (in the Service District)

  
  

  • you can apply in-person for your records check with the RCMP at the Oromocto Detachment.
  • be sure to request the VSC (Vulnerable Sector Check) option which will also include the CRC (Criminal Record Check).
  • RCMP Oromocto (M/W/F)

Note: For officials who will be 18 years-old on December 31st - you will need to get a VSC/CRC for the first time. The process is the same as above, but the processing time can be longer as you will likely need your documents verified manually.

Once you have your VSC (paper or electronic) send a digital copy (scan the letter into a PDF and/or forward the electronic PDF) to the Zone 3 RIC, Bob Hathewey (nbzone3refs@gmail.com) who can update your HCR record.
