Which address do we put down for the verifiers on the sketch? Business or home? For example, my lifeguarding boss - do I put the pool address down or ask for her home address? Thanks!  

If they are verifying you in a business capacity put the business address down- the pool in this case.

A representative at OMSAS told me to put down the info where the verifier can be most easily contacted. Suppose that (in theory...) an adcom were to email/mail/call your verifier. What info would make this the easiest for he/she?

Best of luck to you :)

Exactly what I did, unless it was a previous co-worker who no longer worked at the establishment.

Do they ever actually mail people to verify an activity? Seems strange they would ask for mailing address > email in this day and age

Also, who should I put as a verifier for hobbies if I include them? Thanks guys!  

If you participate in a hobby with someone else, for example a group setting, you can use that person. Or if it is an individual activity that you've shared with people, say at events etc, you can use the organizer. If not, it would be understandable to use someone unrelated to the activity but who knows of your participation.

I was told that this is more so that the applicants do not "make up" verifiers. It's a lot easier to fake an email than an email, a phone number and an address.
