Schedule "H"
Threshold for Denial of a Business License Policy
Policy:
The Town of Parry Sound Business Licensing By-law requires certain classes of businesses
to submit a Police Record Check as a part of their licence application. Certain classes of
business licences also require the review of an applicant's Driver's Abstract. When a Police
Record Check or Driver's Abstract reveals prior convictions there must be a framework
against which these offences are considered to determine if it is in the interest of the public
for this individual to hold a licence. Based on the information in the Police Record Check or
Driver's Abstract an individual may be refused a licence or have a licence revoked.
Purpose:
To provide a document which will outline when a business licence should be denied or
revoked based upon information provided on a Police Record Check or Driver's Abstract that
is required as a part of the application or renewal process.
A detailed list of offences has been included in the procedure for which a Business Licence
would be denied or revoked. Criminal offences which have occurred within the last 10 years
are taken into consideration. Criminal offences that have occurred more than 10 years prior
will only be taken into consideration if they are an offence referred to in Schedule 1 of the
Criminal Records Act or there are more than three convictions on their record, each with a
sentence of two years or more. These guidelines are in line with an individual's eligibility for
a pardon. The time frame of 10 years was used since that is the longest period of time
applicable before being eligible to apply for a pardon. Pardon eligibility is based on the
method of trial, if an offence was prosecuted by indictment or is punishable on summary
conviction. Since that information is not provided on a Police Record Check it was
1
THE CORPORATION OF THE TOWN OF PARRY SOUND
2
BY-LAW 2023 - 7331
Schedule "H"
determined that the longest eligibility period would be the most prudent time frame to use
when considering prior convictions.
For Highway Traffic Act offences, the timeframe to use when considering prior convictions
will be 3 years as the information available on a Drivers Abstract is only from the prior 3
years. Drivers Abstracts are only reviewed for those applicants that will be operating a
vehicle under their business licence.
Procedure:
The policy will apply to licences issued by the Town of Parry Sound pursuant to the following
Schedules under the Business Licensing and Taxi Regs Bylaw;
Temporary Business Vendor
Schedule "E"
Refreshment Vehicles
Schedule "F"
Taxicab and Taxi Driver
Schedule "G"
1. The Town of Parry Sound Business Licensing and Taxi Regs By-law, as amended,
requires a Police Record Check to be completed before the issuance of the above-
mentioned Licences. Further, in some instances a Vulnerable Sector Check and/or
Drivers Abstract is required as well. Please refer to the individual licensing schedules.
2. Pursuant to Section 6, the Issuer of Licences has authority to refuse or suspend a
business license. The Issuer of Licences will refuse to issue, or will revoke, a
business licence if the applicant's Police Record Check reveals any offences detailed
in the following charts that occurred within the last 10 years. Prior convictions of
Schedule 1 offences of the Criminal Records Act or more than three convictions, each
with a sentence of two years or more, will be looked at regardless of the time frame
THE CORPORATION OF THE TOWN OF PARRY SOUND

and would also be grounds for refusal or revocation of a licence. The Issuer of
Licences will refuse to issue, or will revoke, a business licence if the applicant's
Drivers Abstract reveals any offences detailed in the following charts that occurred
within the last 3 years. Drivers Abstracts only provide a 3-year history of offences.
The Issuer of Licences will refuse to issue or will revoke the licence in accordance
with the procedures set out in the by-law.
3. The applicant has the right to appeal the decision of the Issuer of Licences. The
procedure for an appeal is outlined in the by-law and will be heard by the Town of
