Travel Industry Regulations in the Province of Ontario.

Organizations in the Province of Ontario who provide travel services which include accomodation are required to be licenced under the Travel Industry Council of Ontario (TICO). Cycle Canada has voluntarily terminated its registration with TICO and is no longer offering tours or events that provide accomodation. In the past Tour du Canada, a non-profit corporation, has operated under Cycle Canada's licence. Therefore until such time that Tour du Canada relocates to a different jurisdiction or is operated by an organization that is licenced while based in Ontario, no tour is being offered.
