Sign-up for UB1’s Bronze Medallion and Bronze Cross courses is currently open to both UB1 members and non-members!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As of June, first aid courses in Ontario have been updated and renamed to meet new provincial standards. There are now two levels:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If your child previously completed Emergency First Aid or Standard First Aid<\/strong>, these certifications are still valid and are considered equivalent to the updated course names for our requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Please note: UB1’s Bronze medallion course this year does NOT include a first aid certification. You may see other facilities in the region advertising “Bronze Medallion & Basic First Aid” as a combined course, ours is the Bronze Medallion award only. Participants completing Bronze Medallion at UB1 will still need a separate first aid course before Bronze Cross (see below for more information).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bronze Medallion<\/strong> is the first mandatory step in the lifeguarding pathway. Participants develop water rescue skills based on judgment, knowledge, skill, and fitness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bronze Cross <\/strong>is the next step and builds advanced rescue skills while introducing safe supervision of aquatic environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For Bronze Cross, participants must complete either Basic First Aid<\/strong> or Intermediate First Aid<\/strong> before starting the course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Both Bronze Medallion and Bronze Cross will run from Monday, August 24th – Friday, August 28th, 7:30 AM – 2:00 PM<\/strong>. Participants must attend all days in full to meet course requirements. Final-day end times may vary depending on examination length.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Course fees are not yet confirmed and will be shared once finalized.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAbout the Courses<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
