Attention All Lifeguards!!

The Community of Christ is beginning its summer Lifeguard hiring process. We are looking for individuals who are 18 years of age or older who have either Bronze Cross Certification or National Life Saving Certification. See Waterfront Supervisor Job Description and Waterfront Director Job Description for specific details.

We are asking all members of the Community of Christ to extend this invitation to individuals they know have these certifications even if they are not members of the church. All Lifeguards must be certified as youth workers within the church. However, as long as the individual(s) is known by a church member for 6 or more months this process can be completed before they begin work in the summer. In order to expand our hiring pool we must reach individuals who are members and individuals who are not members.

Please forward this to anyone you trust and feel is responsible, and meets the criteria stated above. Your assistance is greatly appreciated by the Lifeguard Program and Canada East Mission Centre.

Thank you,
Tamara Taylor-Wright
