NEW

38.1 Notwithstanding section 5, a Body Rub

Practitioner Licensee may engage in Business
at any location provided to the City Manager
pursuant to sections 35(f) or 38(a).

Section 5 of the current bylaw requires a

separate licence for each business location.
Proposed section 38.1 would confirm that a
Body Rub Practitioner may provide services at
multiple locations without obtaining multiple
licences, as long as the City Manager is
provided with a list of all locations.
