A new category is being added to the Ontario system of classifying films, the first change in the system in 15 years.
The OntarioFilmReviewBoard plans to split the Adult Accompaniment category into two parts: 14A, which means children under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult, and 18A, which means those younger than 18 must see it with an adult.
Ontario's current system of film classification, developed in the 1980s, now has four categories: Family (appropriate for viewing by a person of any age), Parental Guidance (parents should exercise discretion in permitting a child to view the film), Adult Accompaniment and Restricted (film restricted to persons 18 years of age or older).
