Application Form
1. It is my intent
that all employees of 14 Wing Greenwood be afforded the opportunity to
participate in physical fitness and sporting activities as a means of ensuring
good personal fitness and group morale.
2. To that end, all
Regular Force Members, Class A, B and C Reservists, Public Service employees,
NPF employees and Casual employees and Dependants are authorized to participate
in Intersection Sports under the conditions at paragraph 4 below.
3. A study has been
made of the insurance coverage available to all personnel participating in
intersection sports. The conclusions are as follows:
a. for Regular Force, Class B and C
reservists - full coverage is provided by DND;
b. for Class A reservists - coverage is
provided in accordance with reference B;
c. for Public Service employees - WCB
(Workers’ Compensation Board) and the terms of their Collective Agreement
provide coverage. This coverage was not considered sufficient to fully protect
an employee, if they were badly injured;
d. for NPF employees - WCB (Workers’
Compensation Board) and the terms of their Collective Agreement provide
coverage. This coverage was not considered sufficient to fully protect an
employee, if they were badly injured;
e. RCMP Officers shall be part of the Rec
Association to have access to the Consolidated Insurance Plan (CIP) of NPF;
f. for casual employees - no coverage is
provided;
g. for dependants of Regular Force, Class
A, B and C Reservists, Public and NPF Employees - no coverage is provided;
h. Public Service Employees, NPF
Employees, Casual Employees, Dependants and RCMP should ensure that their
participation in non-work related activities such as sports, games, etc are
covered by their personal insurance plan and are in accordance with such
policies as Collective Agreements, WCBs; and
i. All participants are personally
responsible to ensure that they are adequately covered for insurance purposes,
ie. SISSIP, WCB, CIP, Collective Agreement or Personal Insurance Plan.
4. To ensure all
personnel have adequate coverage, the following minimal conditions will be put
in place immediately and are a prerequisite for participation in Intersection
Sports:
a. Regular Force, Class B and C Reservists
- nil;
b. Class A Reservists - Unit CO must
ensure a form CF 895 (Attendance Register) listing all members of the team is
completed. The onus remains on the Unit CO is to ensure that Class A members
have signed the form prior to each game/practice;
c. Public Service employees - must be an
Ordinary Member of the 14 Wing Greenwood Recreation Program;
d. NPF employees - must be an Ordinary
Member of the 14 Wing Greenwood Recreation Program;
e. RCMP Officers must be a member of the
14 Wing Greenwood Recreation Program;
f. Casual employees - must be an
Associate Member of the 14 Wing Greenwood Recreation Program;
g. Dependants of Regular Force, Class A, B
and C Reservists, Public and NPF Employees - must be a Regular/Ordinary Member
of the 14 Wing Greenwood Recreation Program; and
h. Ordinary and Regular Membership in the
14 Wing Greenwood Recreation Program places the employee under the insurance
Umbrella of the Consolidated Insurance Plan (CIP), which will Cover all
Non-Public Property and all NPF activities of the CF.
5. As per references
B and C, there is currently no provision for Class A Reserves to use 14 Wing
fitness facilities when they are not on duty. I support the idea that Class A
Reserves should have the opportunity to stay fit and a means should be provided
to do this, but such does not exist at this time. This means that if Class A
Reserves are to have sufficient insurance coverage to make use of 14 Wing
Fitness Facilities, they must pay a fee to fall under the coverage provided to
the 14 Wing Greenwood Recreation Program Consolidated Insurance Plan (CIP). I
cannot waive this fee due to the nature of the insurance plan, but it is within
my purview to set the amount of this fee. I have determined that the fairest
and least onerous way to do this is to link the fee to that paid by the
dependants of Regular Members. As per reference E, this is the lowest fee
offered.
6. To encourage
participation and negate the negative aspect of members of the CF having to pay
a fee, I have expanded this offer to include the dependants of the Class A
Reserve. All Class A Reserves must join the 14 Wing Greenwood Recreation
Program and make full use of the rates prescribed in reference E under regular
membership.
7. When a sporting
activity is taking place during normal working hours, the chain of command has
the authority to cancel participation for pressing operational matters.
8. Dependants of
Regular/Ordinary Members must be 16 years of age or older.
9. The CIP covers all
non-public property and all non-public fund activities of the CF.
