Abstract

The Ordinance establishes that no child shall be employed so long as he is under the age of 14 years; before the close of school hours on any day which he is required to work; to do any work which, by its nature or the circumstances in which it is carried out, is likely to harm the health, safety or morals of children, or without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, to lift, carry or move anything so heavy as to be likely to cause injury to him; before seven a.m. or after seven p.m. on any day; for more than two hours on any day on which he is required to attend school. The Governor in Council may make regulations with respect to the employment of children and any such regulations may distinguish between children of different ages and sexes and between different localities, trades, occupations and circumstances. For instance the Governor may authorize the employment of children before they attain the age by their parents or guardians in light agricultural or horticultural work.
