New West Edmonton Mall Youth Policy – Kids Under 16 Must Now be With an Adult Escort

West Edmonton Mall has announced a new Youth Escort Policy and it affects mall-going kids under the age of 16.

The new policy:

• All youth are welcome to visit the mall, but those under age 16 need an escort with them at all times
• The escort of youth must be aged 18+
• Each escort can supervise to 6 youth
• Anyone asked for proof of age by security must be able to provide a photo ID – acceptable forms of ID are listed on their website
• Student IDs will not be accepted as proof of age
• Anyone younger than 16 or those that cannot prove they are age 16+ when asked by security may be asked to leave the premises
• Those being asked to leave the Mall will be at security’s discretion
