The City of Toronto says that it is encouraging more qualified residents to apply to be lifeguards and swim instructors to ensure staffing levels are met for planned summer recreation programs.
It is also looking for people to apply as wading pool and aquatic program assistants. The city said youth as young as 14 can apply.
The city said it expects to employ 2,200 part-time recreation staff to support safe supervision of its swimming pools, wading pools and beach waterfront operations.
