Kid curfew: Alberta town says children under 15 have to be off streets at night
BRUDERHEIM, Alta. — It’s meant to cut down on teenage mischief after dark, but some residents and young people in an Edmonton-area town question whether a new kid curfew will make much difference.
Complaints about property damage and unsupervised children wandering around at night led to the bylaw in Bruderheim, a community of about 1,100.
No one younger than 15 is supposed to be in a public place between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. unless accompanied by a parent or guardian.
The bylaw says the curfew is for the “health, safety and welfare of such young people.”
