Club

À la Société de sauvetage, toute forme d’abus, de harcèlement, de négligence ou de violence n’est tolérée. C’est pourquoi, en collaboration avec le Regroupement Loisir et Sport du Québec (RLSQ), nous prenons les moyens pour offrir un milieu sain, exempt d’abus, de harcèlement, de négligence ou de violence. Ainsi, nous favorisons la dénonciation de ces comportements dès leur apparition. Nous n’entendons tolérer aucune forme d’abus, de harcèlement, de négligence ou de violence, physique, psychologique ou sexuelle, et ce, dans tous les programmes et activités dispensés par nous-mêmes et par nos membres.

En mettant ce service à votre disposition, nous souhaitons démontrer notre engagement à protéger nos membres en leur offrant un environnement sécuritaire, juste et dans lequel on peut avoir confiance. Pour connaître la politique d’intégrité de la Société de sauvetage, cliquez sur l’image ci-dessous.
