Words to take along on the Journey: "Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here, we might as well dance."

Follow us on TWITTER Advertisement Leading Spas of Canada Leading Spas of Canada has launched a new Quality Assurance Program created to provide consistent safety and hygiene standards for the spa industry, and subsequently offering reassurance and uncompromising quality for spa guests. The pilot program has now begun with spas from across the country participating. Assessments are being conducted based on extensive criteria developed by the LSC Standards and Practices Committee. Upon completing the assessment and meeting or exceeding all standards, the spa will receive a certificate and seal of approval for display on-site and in marketing materials, recognizing their Quality Assurance status. Once the pilot program has been completed later this year, the program will become available to all Leading Spas of Canada members for 2010.
