IMPORTANT CLINIC INFORMATION

When registering for a coaching clinic or safety course, if the system shows that you already have a Hockey Canada ID and profile, DO NOT create a new one, choose the existing profile.  If the profile is residing with another province or association and not with Kelowna MHA, send me an email Sheena Parks registration@kelmha.com and I will have the profile transferred to KMHA.

We do reimburse for all courses upon completion.  That means for coach clinics, all pre-requisites, zoom clinics and post task items must be complete before you can submit your receipt.  Post task includes coach 2 workbook, Dev 1 written assignment, Dev 1 MED, and Dev 1 field evaluation.  If you are doing multiple courses, send all your receipts at one time when you have completed everything.  Please do not email asking when you will receive your reimbursement.  Cheques are printed, signed by a board member and then mailed out.  Sheena does not give a timeline on reimbursement due to the already high volume of emails.  Do not send any receipts prior to completion.  Receipts and certificates of completion can be submitted to Sheena accounting@kelmha.com or registration@kelmha.com
