TOUT BAIGNE AU SOLEIL PROGRAM

 

Tout baigne au soleil

What is this about?

“Cancer”: a word that just keeps on being terrifying, no matter how often we hear it. It seems, however, that this fear vanishes when winter leaves; people just want to enjoy the long-awaited warmth of the sun and work on their tan at the pool or at the beach.

This is why the Lifesaving Society, in cooperation with the ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux and the Institut national de santé publique du Québec, has implemented Tout baigne au soleil. It’s an innovative program that aims at raising awareness among lifeguards and patrons about the importance of sun protection, specifically during outdoor aquatic activities.
