cne youth day

The CNE has canceled its most popular day

The CNE is going to be a bit different this year, and not just because ofall the new attractions,spaghetti donut ballsand other outrageous food.

In a bit of an under-the-radar move, theCNE has confirmedthey've cancelled the popular Youth Day after a six year run.

For those unfamiliar, Youth Day was the one day each season when the CNE would make the amusement park more accessible to those under the age of 17 with discounted tickets.

But Youth Day has proven to be a problem over the years. Last year the CNE closed three hours early afterfights broke out.

And in 2015 the CNE was forced to close an hour early after misbehaving teenagers got out of hand.

Also today, the CNE announced they'll bebeefing up securityat The Ex this year in the wake of theterrorist attacks in Spain.
