Bronze Cross (Canada)

The Bronze Cross is a certification in water rescue that is the mainstay of the lifesaving training offered in Canada, and is awarded by the Royal Life Saving Society of Canada. Before one can take the Bronze Cross course, the Bronze Medallion (Canada) and Emergency First Aid certification are required.[1] With Bronze Cross and Standard First Aid certification, one can be an assistant lifeguard. For National Lifeguard Certification or to become an Instructor, a current or expired Bronze Cross and current Standard First Aid certification are required.[2]
