It also said that, in other provinces, the legal age to be unsupervised is much higher, including 16 in Ontario . It isn’t true that young men and women under 16 need to be under direct parental or adult supervision at all times. It’s the age of emancipation from parental control and responsibility, not the age of no longer needing a nanny. “There is no law in Ontario that dictates a specific age at which a child can be left unsupervised. It does not specify an age at which a child can be left alone, recognizing that age alone is not a sufficient safeguard when considering the supervision of children,” the statement says.
