Canada's Wonderland is introducing a new chaperone policy when the park opens to the public.

"This season, the park is implementing a chaperone policy beginning May 1. As of 4 p.m. daily, all guests ages 15 years old or younger must be accompanied by a chaperone who is at least 21 years old in order to be admitted or to remain in the park," according to a news release. "One chaperone may accompany no more than 10 guests aged 15 or younger per day."

The park says it reserves the right to implement the policy earlier "as operational needs require."

"Guests who fail to comply with this policy may be subject to removal from the park and any applicable actions permitted under the law."

Last fall, Canada's Wonderland implemented a temporary chaperone policy during its Halloween Haunt event, due to "incidents of unruly and inappropriate behaviour over the years at other entertainment venues."

The park says chaperones must provide a valid government-issued photo ID that includes date of birth at the time of entry to the park.

The new policy says "chaperones must enter the park with their group and remain in the park and reachable by park staff if needed."

Canada's Wonderland opens to season passholders on May 1, and to the general public on May 3.
