Members of the Media, you are kindly invited to witness the lifeguard training exercise of the Buffalo City Metro Beaches Lifeguards.

 

Buffalo City Metro’s different role players in rescue operations have their preparations put in place for the Festive Season 2019. This is to manage the influx of public to the various Beaches and Amenities around the Metro.
