TSSA Information
Happy Party Rentals is TSSA-licensed, meaning we can now offer bouncy castles for your public events!
If your event is open to the public, held in a public space, charges admission, or is expected to have more than 100 attendees, you can only use TSSA-compliant inflatable devices. TSSA requirements help ensure inflatables are properly inspected, maintained, installed, and operated in accordance with Ontario safety regulations.
What is TSSA?
The Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) is Ontario's safety regulator responsible for overseeing a variety of public safety programs, including inflatable amusement devices. TSSA helps ensure regulated inflatables are inspected, maintained, and operated safely.
