To request reimbursement for expenses related to obtaining a police check and completing the KHSC medical form:
After three months of consistent service, you can submit an electronic or hard copy receipt (originals required) for expenses related to your application to become a KHSC volunteer (i.e., a police records check with the vulnerable sector search and the KHSC medical form).
Please note: If there are financial barriers that prevent you from waiting three months for reimbursement, please contact Volunteer Services. We do not want a financial barrier to prevent someone from volunteering at KHSC.
Transportation/Parking
If required, Volunteer Services will provide paid parking or a bus pass for use during volunteer shifts. For volunteers at the KGH site, volunteers can receive a parking pass for the underground (Stuart St.) parking lot or a bus pass through the Secretary in Volunteer Services. For the HDH site, volunteers can request reimbursement for parking every 4 months or receive a bus pass. There is also a KHSC Shuttle service which volunteers can utilize to go between sites. To learn more about transportation/parking for KHSC volunteers click here.
If you are a HDH volunteer who would like to request reimbursement for parking, please click here for the reimbursement form. Click here for the direct deposit form for your reimbursement.

Policies
Many important policies are relevant to your role as a volunteer (e.g. dress code, scent free, confidentiality, use of electronic devices, code of conduct, etc). If you have a question about a specific policy, please contact Volunteer Services or you can also review the appropriate eLearning modules on the Orientation section of this site.
Dress Code
KHSC strives to provide a workplace environment where staff and volunteers feel comfortable and safe while dressed accordingly. Clothing must be in good condition, clean and appropriately fitted with I.D. badges properly placed at chest level on a KHSC uniform.
Although the guidelines allow for a wide range of apparel options, some clothing and accessories are more suitable than others for the work environment.
