SUMMARY:Free Bronze Medallion & Cross Course
DESCRIPTION:Free Bronze Medallion & Cross Course\n\n\nFree Bronze Medallion & Bronze Cross Combo Course \nThis is a free 40-hour combined Bronze Medallion and Bronze Cross certification course offered by the Lifesaving Society BC & Yukon\, made possible through funding from the Island Health Youth Resiliency Grant.  \nThis program is designed to bring nationally recognized lifesaving certifications to youth in rural and remote coastal communities where access to these courses is typically limited or unavailable. \nWhat You’ll Learn \nBronze Medallion is the Lifesaving Society’s flagship lifesaving certification. Candidates develop the judgment\, knowledge\, skill\, and fitness needed to make effective rescue decisions in\, on\, and around the water. Training covers self-rescue techniques\, defense and release methods\, and tows and carries for a range of emergency scenarios — including spinal injuries and circulatory emergencies. Candidates also build stroke efficiency and endurance through a timed swim component. Bronze Medallion includes CPR-A certification. \nBronze Cross builds on your Medallion training and begins the transition from lifesaving to lifeguarding. Candidates strengthen their rescue skills while learning the principles of active surveillance and safety supervision in aquatic facilities. The course emphasizes teamwork and communication in preventing and responding to aquatic emergencies\, and prepares candidates for responsibilities as Assistant Lifeguards. Bronze Cross includes CPR-C certification and is a prerequisite for the Lifesaving Society’s National Lifeguard and leadership certification programs. \nWho Can Register \nParticipants must be 13-24 years of age\, those younger than 13 are allowed if they hold a current Bronze Star award. Candidates should be comfortable in the water. No prior lifesaving certifications are required. \nWhat’s Included \nThis course is offered at no cost to participants. Course materials (Canadian Lifesaving Manual)\, certification fees\, and instruction are all covered through program funding. \nImportant Details \n100% attendance is mandatory for both the Bronze Medallion and Bronze Cross portions of the course. Please bring a wetsuit (if you have one)\, swimsuit\, towel\, pen\, and paper to each session. Successful candidates will receive both a Bronze Medallion medal and a Bronze Cross medal along with electronic certifications from the Lifesaving Society. \nAbout This Program \nThis initiative is part of a broader effort by the Lifesaving Society BC & Yukon to increase youth access to lifesaving education and drowning prevention training across British Columbia’s West Coast. Space is limited — register early to secure your spot.
