The Lifesaving Society is incorporated in Ontario under the name "The Royal Life Saving Society Canada/La Société Royale de Sauvetage Canada."

In our day-to-day business operations, we are known as the Lifesaving Society.

Our chosen symbol is imbued with the characteristics that personify the Lifesaving Society. First, one can read the letter “S,” which represents our devotion to Safety, Service and Saving lives. Next, the curved shape of the symbol brings to mind movement and waves. The symbol also represents our lifeguarding expertise in the form of a stylized rescuer whose arm is holding a rescued victim.
