Age-Base
C Programming interned for children under age 8
Careful attention is paid to themes, which could threaten children's sense of security and well-being. There will be no realistic scenes of
violence. Depictions of aggressive behaviour will be infrequent and limited to portrayals that are clearly imaginary, comedic or unrealistic
in nature.
C8+ Programming generally considered acceptable for children 8 years and over to watch on their own
Violence will not be portrayed as the preferred, acceptable, or only way to resolve conflict; or encourage children to imitate dangerous acts
which they may see on television. Any realistic depictions of violence will be infrequent, discreet, of low intensity and will show the
consequences of the acts.
G General Audience
Will contain very little violence, either physical or verbal or emotional. Will be sensitive to themes which could frighten a younger child, will
not depict realistic scenes of violence which minimize or gloss over the effects of violent acts.
PG Parental Guidance

RATING

Programming intended for audience of all ages. Contains no violence, or the violence it contains is minimal or is depicted appropriately
with humour or caricature or in an unrealistic manner.
8+ 8+ General – Not recommended for young children

recommended for children under 13.

(16 ans+) Contains frequent scenes of violence or intense violence.
18+ Programming restricted to adults
(18 ans+) Contains constant violence or scenes of extreme violence.
