Child Labour laws in Canada and Working Ages

From reading this blog, have you ever wondered what the child labour laws in Canada are? How about the minimum age of a child worker in certain provinces? Well this website that I have found has those answers. Most of the time, when children work, their employers require the permisson of a legal parent or guardian. Children have to be in school at regular times and can not work past 10 pm or 11 pm in some provinces. They are also not allowed to wotk more than three hours on a school day and eight hours on a non school day. The working age of children also varies in different provinces. For inctence in Alberta you have to be twelve years old and in and in Manitoba you have to be sixteen. In Newfoundland and Labrador you have to be only fourteen years old.
