New Programs
Drowning is identified as the 3rd leading cause of death in Canada and the 2nd leading cause of death for children under the age of 10. Most people drown less than 15m from safety and over half of the incidents occur in the company of others. The PHAFC is offering two new programs to help promote the Water Smart message to both aquatic and non-aquatic groups.

Lifesaving for Backyard Pool Owners: This program will offer basic, low risk water rescue training to individuals who spend time around the water but may not know hot to swim or have weak swimming skills. The goal is to develop strategies for preventing residential pool drowing involving young children. It is a 4 hour program, one hour dry and 3 hours wet and includes a workbook.
Saturday May 12 1-5pm Activity #1400.280 $60

Lifesaving for the Lay Rescuers: This program will offer skills to people such as private pool owners and parents of small children who may not have a strong aquatic background. The course also includes a 3 hour first aid module.
Saturday June 1 9-4:30pm Activity #1404.280 $60
