Canada’s Wonderland Enforces Permanent Chaperone Policy for Under-15s
Canada’s Wonderland in Vaughan, Ontario, is set to enforce a new policy requiring chaperones for visitors aged 15 and under. This regulation will begin on May 1 of the upcoming season and aims to foster a safe environment for all guests.
Chaperone Policy Details
Under the new guidelines, any child under 16 must be accompanied by a chaperone who is at least 21 years old. This rule takes effect daily from 4 p.m., specifically targeting the park’s evening operations.
Supervision Limits
Each chaperone is permitted to supervise a maximum of ten children per day. This measure is intended to manage crowd behavior and enhance safety.
Background on the Policy
This chaperone requirement follows a previously implemented policy during the park’s Halloween Haunt event last fall. Canada’s Wonderland stated the decision was influenced by instances of “unruly” behavior reported at other amusement parks and similar venues.
Importance of Safety
The primary motive behind the chaperone policy is to ensure a pleasant experience for all visitors. Park officials emphasize their commitment to maintaining security and enjoyment for everyone.
