The Lifesaving Society's Bronze Medallion award teaches an understanding of the lifesaving principles embodied in the four components of water rescue education - judgement, knowledge, skill, and fitness. This program will increase community capacity for lifeguards in the eight (8) communities that currently have pool facilities:
- Cambridge Bay
- Taloyoak
- Baker Lake
- Rankin Inlet
- Cape Dorset
- Pangnirtung
- Qikiqtarjuaq
- Iqaluit

This training will help lifeguards develop and enhance their skills and abilities in areas that will benefit themselves, their employer (hamlet), their career, and the facility they supervise.
