Me and My Job
Working for legislation
Other provinces, the US and Europe are moving towards legislating Massage Therapy. There is no provincial legislation in Manitoba. Until a few years ago, there wasn't even city licensure.
Locally, people in professional associations are encouraging legislation for the profession. They're doing a really good job but it's not moving forward.
I think the industry has to be represented. The government isn't listening yet because there's no research to say that we can do harm.
