Saskatchewan no longer requires films to carry age-based ratings and instead requires movie theatres to provide their own content descriptions.

Under the new rule, which took effect on April 1, age ratings are voluntary. Previously, the province relied on ratings assigned by the British Columbia Film Classification Board (BCFCB).
