Iqaluit: Victoria Perron

Bronze Cross Dept: The goal of the sessions isto train people and send them home with nationally recognized certification the Bronze Medallion and Bronze Cross, according to CBC. Four communities outside Iqaluit have swimming pools, but three are closed because there are no lifeguards to supervise them. Some pools in Nunavut are closed due to lack of lifeguards and a group of young people from across Nunavut are in Iqaluit this week for a crash-course in lifeguarding. We're trying to train people from the other communities in Nunavut, so that way they can open their pools this summer, said Victoria Perron, Iqaluit s aquatic coordinator and the course instructor.
