Canadian Rating Systems (Canadian English
ratings and Canadian French ratings)
• The TV rating systems
in
Canada are based on the
Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications
Commission
(CRTC)
policy
on
violence
in
television
programming.
• While violence
is
the most important content element
to be rated, the structure developed takes into
consideration other program content like language,
nudity, sexuality and mature themes.
• When setting the V-CHIP
on
the Canadian system you
can choose either the Canadian English ratings or the
Canadian French ratings.
• Canadian English Ratings
E:
Exempt: Includes news, sports, documentaries
and other information programming; talk shows,
music videos, and variety programming.
C:
Children: Intended for younger children under the
age of 8 years. Pays careful attention to themes
that could threaten their sense
of
security and
well-being.
C8+: Children over 8 years old: Contains no portrayal
of violence
as
the preferred, acceptable, or only
way
to
resolve conflict; nor encourage children
to imitate dangerous acts which they may see on
the screen.
G:
General: Considered acceptable for
all
age
groups. Appropriate viewing for the entire family,
contains very little violence, physical, verbal or
emotional.
PG:
Parental Guidance: Intended for a general
audience, but may not be suitable for younger
children (under the age of
8)
because it could
contain controversial themes or issues.
14+: Over 14 years: Could contain themes where
violence
is
one of the dominant elements of
the storyline, but
it
must be integral
to
the
development of plot or character. Language
usage could be profane and nudity present within
the context of the theme.
18+: Adults: Intended for viewers 18 years and older
and might contain depictions
of
violence, which
while related to the development of plot, character
or themes,
are
intended for adult viewing. Could
contain graphic language and portrayals of sex
and nudity.
• Canadian French Ratings
E:
Exempt programming.
G:
General:
All
ages and children, contains minimal
direct violence, but may be integrated into the plot
in
a humorous or unrealistic manner.
Sans+:
General but inadvisable for young children:
May be viewed by a wide public audience, but
could contain scenes disturbing
to
children under
8 who cannot distinguish between imaginary and
real
situations.
Recommended for viewing with parent.
13ans+: Over 13 years: Could contain scenes
of frequent violent scenes and therefore
recommended for viewing with parent.
16ans+: Over 16 years: Could contain frequent
violent scenes and intense violence.
18ans+: Over 18 years: Only for adult viewing. Could
contain frequent violent scenes and extreme
violence.
