Criminal Record Checks: Check Ups

Body Rub Dept: City administration has proposed separate licensing categories for legitimate massage therapists and people who work in adult body rub shops, according to CBC. Mayor Stephen Mandel said there's no point pretending body rub parlours don't exist and members of council's executive committee approved changes Wednesday to how the city regulates the massage industry. Body rub workers will have to undergo criminal record checks, take a city-run course on sexual exploitation, and get yearly medical check-ups for sexually transmitted diseases.
