Lifeguards will return to Nova Scotia’s beaches on Canada Day.
The Nova Scotia Lifeguard Service provides 82 lifeguards in the summer to supervise 25 beaches in 12 counties.
“We know Nova Scotians and visitors are looking forward to summer fun at the province’s beaches,” said Lands and Forestry Minister Chuck Porter in a news release. “Lifeguards are trained and ready to respond to any situation. Please follow their instructions and make safety a priority when swimming and enjoying other water sports.”
Nova Scotia’s beaches saw more than 300,000 visitors last summer, and there were over 100 rescues.
Most of the beaches will be supervised daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
