Club

At the Lifesaving Society, any form of abuse, harassment, neglect or violence will not be tolerated. That's why, in collaboration with the Regroupement Loisir et Sport du Québec (RLSQ), we take steps to provide a healthy environment, free from abuse, harassment, neglect or violence. We encourage the reporting of such behaviors as soon as they occur. We will not tolerate any form of abuse, harassment, neglect or violence, whether physical, psychological or sexual, in any program or activity provided by ourselves or our members.

By making this service available to you, we wish to demonstrate our commitment to protecting our members by offering them a safe, fair and trustworthy environment.
