The provincial Municipal
Act gives Ontario municipalities the authority to pass By-Laws
that regulate and govern various trades, callings businesses and
occupations. Local municipalities have passed that authority to
the Region who has requested that the Regional Municipality of
Niagara Police Services Board manage that licencing
responsibility. The Police Services Board has therefore enacted
a licencing By-Law # 263-2003.
By-Law #263-2003 is
administered and enforced by members of the Niagara Regional
Police Service and their Licencing Unit. This By-Law regulates
business operators and drivers of various vehicles for hire such
as; Taxicabs, Tow Trucks, Limousines, Sightseeing and Shuttle
vehicles as well as horse drawn Caleche. In addition this By-Law
further regulates Salvage Yards, Scrap Dealers, Auto Wrecking
Yards, Second Hand Stores and Second Hand Goods Dealers.
In keeping with a uniform
approach to licencing many local municipalities have entered
into a contractual arrangement with the Board to have the
Licencing Unit of the Police Service administer and enforce
portions of their Adult Entertainment By-Law as they pertain to
Adult strip clubs.
