Block Parent Application Process
To become a member of the Winnipeg Block Parent community, you must complete a three-stage process:
- submit a Block Parent application form
- complete a police records check
- complete a Child Abuse Registry check
A personal application tracker, describing each of the three steps, is available here. You will find this a handy reference as you go through the process. We also have a flowchart here that will show you the process in graphical detail.
Part 1: Block Parent Application
To apply for Block Parent membership, please download, print, and complete the application form, and mail the completed application to:
BLOCK PARENT PROGRAM OF WINNIPEG, INC.
466 GERTRUDE AVENUE
WINNIPEG, MANITOBA
R3L 0M8
The application form is available here. Depending on your connection speed, this may take a few minutes. The application is in PDF format.
Part 2: Police Record Check
The Police Record Check can be done online. Winnipeg Block Parent Program has purchased credits to allow current and new Block Parent members to complete the record check at no cost to you. When your police record check is done, please share the results with the Block Parent Program of Winnipeg.
Please note that every person in the household 18 years of age or older is required to complete the Police Records Check and the Child Abuse Registry form.
