City of Toronto Licensing Requirements:

As provided for in the Municipal Act, the City of Toronto has enacted a bylaw requiring holistic practitioners and owners to be licensed by the City. Because our profession is unregulated by the Ontario government, the Municipal Act allows each municipality to license unregulated practitioners.

To be eligible for licensing, you must be registered and be a current member of the Reflexology Registration Council of Ontario.

A license is required for practitioners providing holistic services. "Holistic services" refer to any modality (including reflexology) used as a tool for therapeutic and wellness purposes.

A license is also required for owners of any premises providing holistic services. "Holistic services" refer to any modality used as a tool for therapeutic and wellness purposes.

If you provide holistic services, you are required to hold both a Holistic Practitioner's License and a Holistic Centre Owner's License.

OCR is recognized by the Reflexology Registration Council of Ontario.

We have enclosed below, links for the complete text of the bylaw for your information.
