4 d. ago Canada's Wonderland introducing strict new policy starting later this month

Compared to recent seasons, summer 2025 could be considered pretty light in terms of problematic incidents at Canada's Wonderland. Even so, park staff still had to deal with their fair share of troublemakers who tampered with rides and caused all sorts of other issues at the GTA attraction over the last few months.In light of a surge in such incidents at both the Vaughan, Ontario site and across the amusement industry — as well as, perhaps, the terrifying rise in serious crimes perpetrated by teens in general — park management has decided to implement a new policy specifically targeting young people.Ahead of its busy annual Halloween event that kicks off at the end of the month, Wonderland has updated its conduct policy to include a new chaperone rule.Under the new guideline, all entrants aged 15 and under must be accompanied by an adult aged 21 or older after 6 p.m. — and yes, IDs will be checked.

3 w. ago The way Toronto Blue Jays games are broadcasted may be changing for some viewers

Toronto Blue Jays broadcasts might be getting a minor shakeup in the future.Most Blue Jays fans have been fortunate enough to only require one channel to follow their team each season, as Sportsnet has been the sole broadcaster of the team since Rogers Communications began owning the franchise in 2004.As long as one of Canada's telecommunications giants owns the franchise, it's likely that the vast majority of Blue Jays games will remain with Rogers-owned properties on a national broadcast.That's a contrast to the experience of most American baseball fans, who have seen many regional broadcasters shuttered in the past few years, with ongoing uncertainty year-to-year about where each of the 29 U.S.-based teams will have their games on television.But in recent seasons, a select few Blue Jays games (usually about one Friday game per month) have been exclusively broadcast via Apple TV+, a subscription streaming service.Select games being streaming-specific isn’t a...
