Bronze Level Courses

The Town of Parry Sound is pleased to offer Bronze Level courses for the 2026 Summer Season. 

Please note: the Lifesaving Society has updated the First Aid Training program, historically offered alongside Bronze-level programs. As a result, first aid certification is no longer included as part of our Bronze level programs. 

Participants registering in a Bronze- Level program should be aware that any required first aid certification must be completed separately.

The Town of Parry Sound is planning to offer an Intermediate First Aid Course in August 2026, to provide the necessary pre-requisite for Bronze Cross participants. Details of this program will be shares as soon as they are finalized.
