... a rule of thumb would be that the spas within Toronto, opening until 1:00 AM had 'body rub licenses' and those closing at 10:00 PM. Atleast that is what I was lead to believe. Obviously, anyone can ignore such a rule.


I think 'Scarboro Spa's' operator has a bodyrub license. If it's a nominal fee to get the info from the licensing dept., I can go get a copy (if someone can tell me where to go too?)

I phoned Richmond Hill licensing about a year ago.
I asked about getting the list from them.
They said "we don't have any"
I translate that to "We are slimy liars and proud"

Sounds like martial arts school.

Damn, that explains my high tax bill!!

Add me to the list of confused. If true, why some BRs change their closing to 9pm?

LE is definitely not consistent here.

It was just the other day, I was about to get a massage in 1 of Scarb holistics, when bylaw come in for lic. check. The holistic owner ask the bylaw guy, if any change to hours, as no notice received. Bylaw told owner, nope.

I guess like Leah says, call your MP.

Bylaw states Holisitics must close each day of the week not later than 9:00 pm. Hope this helps clear things up.

 

[HOPE FOR GOOD.]

How about a list of "Accupuncture" Establishments in the GTA (that's not really doing accupuncture)? I heard there's 9. I only know of 2.

1) Silvervalley (Victoria Park & Sheppard)
2) Oasis- Scarborough

Any others?

A & P has an Accupuncture on staff but by app't only.

And 'holistic must close at 9pm' is subject to who you talk to. I know few MPAs love earlier closing, if given notice.

After Emanuel Jaques was murdered in 1977, the cap for bodyrubs was frozen at 26
This differs from the 25 number floating around here

 

[Paul W]

Is Silhouette in Mississauga licensed as MP or Body Rub Parlour?

 

[Christopher]

what's the difference between a body rub and holistic?

can i get busted at a holistic for a BS or HJ? what about body rubs?

I have yet to hear any logical reason behind the limit of 25 or 26 body rub licences, other than if they vote to increase the number, city councillors fear they will be accused of encouraging prostitution.
Holistic licenses are intended for legit holistic health clinics that perform acupuncture, aromatherapy, etc.
The licences are relatively inexpensive compared to the $10,000 a year body rub parlour licences. See the Toronto Star series from earlier this year.

Just what the body rub licences are supposed to allow seems to be poorly defined. Mayor Miller sheepishly admitted on CP24 that even he had not been able to get a good explanation.

The bottom line is that no MP is licensed to provide HJs or any other other sexual service, regardless of what municipal licence they have or don't have, and all MPs providing HJs can be considered to be bawdy-houses under the Criminal Code of Canada.
I don't know if by-law inspectors can fine customers, but if you're worried about getting "busted", you are taking the risk just by entering the MP. Police can charge you with the criminal offence of being found in a common bawdy-house, and you don't necessarily have to be "caught in the act". You only have to be present without a lawful excuse for them to charge you.

 

[MaDaM]

Police can charge anytime they want to, but will they get convictions?

Is there a lawyer in the house?
