With the recent announcement from the Ontario Government of the Emergency Brake Shutdown and Stay-at-home order we will not be running any in-person courses or private courses. Online courses remain unaffected.

We have received approval to resume in-person courses. We will shortly be starting up Standard First Aid courses. Please be patient as we require to adapt our curriculum and protocols for public safety.  

Announcement from the Society (www.lifesavingsociety.com):

To support the re-opening of Ontario’s aquatic facilities, the Lifesaving Society Ontario is extending until October 1, 2020 the validity of awards needed by instructors and lifeguards for employment. This extension:

• applies only to awards that expired after March 1, 2020.
• includes Bronze Cross, National Lifeguard and Wading Pool Attendant, Instructor, Examiner and Trainer leadership certifications.

WSIB has extended the validity of Emergency First Aid and Standard First Aid certifications until December 31, 2020. Ergo, this extension applies to Lifesaving Society EFA and SFA certifications.

For the Health and Safety for both our Instructors and Candidates, Superior First Aid and Lifesaving has cancelled all courses in March and April. This cancellation period is likely to be extended through to the summer months, however we are not certain at this time.

Due to the more recent restrictions from the Provincial Government, we will not be offering Private Courses until further notice. Some of our programs can be conducted in an online format, and are working to add more.

The Lifesaving Society is extending the validity of awards to May 30, 2020 for Lifesaving Society vocational awards that expired after March 1, 2020. Vocational awards are those required for employment. The Lifesaving Society will continue to monitor the appropriateness of the extension date as COVID-19 circumstances change.

When the Provincial and Municipal State of Emergencies are lifted, Superior First Aid and Lifesaving will open additional courses in both Barrie and Peterborough to accomodate for anyone affected. 

The Superior First Aid and Lifesaving office will be closed until further notice, and therefore we will have no direct access to our phone system. We will be monitoring voicemails frequently and will get back to you as soon as possible. We will have frequent access to our email system.
