How does the service work? The Operation Red Nose service is provided by a team of three volunteers. Two of these volunteers ride with the client in the client's vehicle while the other volunteer follows behind in his / her own car. These volunteers are the escort driver, designated driver, and the navigator. Designated driver: This volunteer drives the client's vehicle. Navigator: This volunteer rides along with the designated driver and the client in the client's car. He or she makes sure that everything is going according to the client's expectations and is also responsible for preparing a receipt and handing the client an Operation Red Nose envelope. Escort driver: This volunteer uses his or her own vehicle in order to drive the designated driver and the navigator to the location where the client is waiting. The escort driver follows the client's car. Once the client reaches the destination the designated driver and the navigator re-join the escort driver in his / her vehicle and they move on to pick up the next client. Aside from drivers and navigators, control station staff, food helpers, and administrative help. All volunteers are required to complete our volunteer form and to have a criminal record check done. We have separate forms for Burnaby, New Westminster and Tri-Cities, each of which explains what to do and where to go. *NEW* Instructions for applying your PIC with the New Westminster Police. Please print out the application and bring it in to the main branch of the police. Please do not do the PIC request online as there is a payment that will be required by the New Wesminster Police..
Contact us at [email protected] to request a registration form by email. Please let us know what city you live in so we can send you the correct form and Criminal Records Check request.
