As the recognized national authority on lifesaving and
lifeguarding, the Lifesaving Society is frequently asked to provide
its expertise.
Advice on Operational Concerns
As the standard setter in aquatic safety, the Lifesaving Society
is pleased to offer its affiliate members advice on aquatic
facility operational concerns. Whether it's interpreting
regulations or suggesting solutions, the vast experience of the
Society's Safety Management team is available to affiliates.
Major Incident Management Service
When an incident occurs, the Society responds to affiliate
requests for post-incident management. The Society provides timely
assistance whether it's meeting with the staff, ensuring the
correct information is collected, reviewing the incident
circumstances, or guiding the affiliate through the investigative
processes. In addition, the Society can conduct an Incident Review
and prepare a report with its recommendations that will address any
issues and enhance safety in the facility. For further information
or assistance, contact
Michael Shane
, Safety Management Director at 416-490-8844.

Expert Witness Services
As the only recognized authority in Canada, the Society is
frequently consulted by both sides in civil cases. The Society
believes that it is inappropriate to withhold expertise
from one party simply because there has been consultation by
the other side. This role has received judicial approval.
The Lifesaving Society is pleased to consult with counsel to
advise and offer an opinion. Following site visits and accident
reconstruction, the Lifesaving Society presents a detailed report,
which would be supported by the Society's appearance in court. For
further information, contact
