Policies
The Manitoba Program Guide provides Instructors, Trainers, and Affiliates with information about Lifesaving Society Manitoba’s program policies and procedures. Updates are made regularly. The most recent edition was published in June 2022.

Test Sheets
Test sheets show if each candidate passed or failed each item in a course and their overall performance. They are legal documents that must be signed by the Instructor and Examiner and filled out in pen (unless filled in electronically). Affiliates are responsible for submitting to Lifesaving Society Manitoba the appropriate test sheet(s). Affiliates must also keep a copy of each test sheet for their records. We invite Instructors, Examiners, and Trainers to use the Test Sheet Resource Guide to ensure their test sheets are ready to process.
