In Ontario children 10 and over can be left home alone. This is not to be done overnight or for a period exceeding 2 hours.
There are no explicit ages or ranges stated in the "Child and Family Services Act". The act states that any adult person in charge of a child less than 16 years of age cannot leave the child alone without making provision for his/her care that is reasonable under the circumstances. This may mean a check in phone call or making a neighbour aware.
According to the Durham Childrens Aid Society the following guidelines are reasonable:
Age 0 to 9: child should not be left unsupervisd for any period of time.
Age 10 to 12: short periods (1 to 2 hours) may be acceptable
Age 13 to 14: longer periods (2 to 5 hours) may be acceptable
Age 15 to 16: should be able to be alone for a full day
An additional related point on supervision: it is illegal for a parent to allow a child under the age of 16 to loitter in a public space between the hours of midnight and 6am.
