An important year for the development of Lifesaving Sport in Canada
2012 will be an important year for the development of Lifesaving Sport in Canada. The World Lifesaving Championships, held in Adelaide, Australia in November 2012 will determine whether Canada qualifies for the 2013 World Games in Cali, Colombia. The inaugural edition of the Youth World Championships (16-19 years old), held as well at Rescue 2012, will unlock untapped talent throughout Canada and allow these athletes to get an early insight into the challenges at the international level.
In light of these opportunities and challenges, the National Sport Commission is pleased to announce some changes to the High Performance Activity Centre. For more information, read the memorandum by Martin Leprohon, High Performance Manager.

New official positions for the Lifesaving Society
Lifesaving Society adopted two official positions on May 9th : personal use of an electronic device when lifeguarding and thunderstorms in outdoor aquatic situations (available in French only). We would point out that emitting official positions is one of Lifesaving Society mandates. Those texts prescribe behaviors to lifeguarding attendants, instructors and affiliate members in order to supervise swimmers' safety.
