Halifax Regional Police release Dartmouth suspect’s name and photo | SaltWire #news #novascotiaSYDNEY, N.S. — Beachgoers in Cape Breton can expect to see someone in the lifeguard chair keeping a watchful eye over them at their favourite stretch of sand this summer.
He said much of North America is still recovering from a lifeguard shortage that began during the COVID-19 pandemic when swimming pools were shut down, forcing many lifeguards to get other jobs and making it impossible to train new lifeguards. “So they can take their training and then when they turn 16 they can jump on the deck rather than not doing the training until 16. So that's a major step we've taken. Lifeguarding is a transient job. We keep these people through high school and university and very few full-time lifeguards stay in the profession, but it's a great profession. You always can get work — you can do it at university, you can do it at school, you can do it in the summer.
Lifeguard Bennett MacIntyre is seen at Mira Gut beach in this 2022 file photo. After struggling the past few years to hire enough lifeguards to patrol the province’s beaches, Lifesaving Society of Nova Scotia special projects director Paul D’Eon says the situation has improved this year.
