Teethstraightening.
Thefutureisclear.
Invisalign® takes a modern approach to straightening teeth that allows you to
continue to live your life the way you want while you gain the confidence that
comes from a better smile. The removable aligners mean you can continue
doing all the things you normally would, from eating and brushing, to feeling
comfortable in every social occasion.

March 25, 2019
6:00pm- 9:00pm
Crescent Heights Community Association
Crescent Heights Community Association is proud to
support and host the YYC Free Market & SOS Open Mic
Jam at the hall on March 25, 2019 from 6:00-9:00 pm.
This is a free event for the community.
The YYC Free Market has been around for two years as
an ad-hoc group of volunteer organizers. They have
been featured on local media such as CBC’s Eye Opener
and Homestretch. The Free Market functions on three
simple rules:
1. Give what you can.
2. Take what you need.
3. Leave no trace.
SOS Open Mic Jam is a platform for hobbies and pro-
fessional musicians to try out new material and jam to-
gether. Bring your instruments and talent and we will
provide the stage.

• The third is a therapist who has 2200 practicum hours, Therapist of Alberta), and MTAA (Massage Therapist As-
sociation of Alberta)
Now let’s explain the licensing required for massage
therapists in Calgary. There are 2 different licenses for
Massage Therapy. The first is classified as “bodyworkers”
and such therapists have 250 or less hours. The second
is classified as “massage therapy”, these therapists have
1100 hours or more. Because there are no regulations
in Alberta these licenses help us differentiate between
therapists that can give relaxation massages and thera-
pists who can clinically treat injuries and issues related
to the body.
When it comes to claiming a massage through your ad-
ditional health care plan, you must look for a massage
therapist who has 2200 hours of practicum, has a “Mas-
sage Therapy” license through the city of Calgary, and is
a member of one of the associations in Alberta.
Hopefully this sheds some light on the Massage Therapy
profession. Remember that regulation of Massage Ther-
apy is the only way to create a set standard of practice
and a uniformed practicum for massage therapists in Al-
berta and rid us of the confusing situation we have now.
Please consider sending your MLA an email or letter in
favor of regulating Massage Therapy in Alberta.
