The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday edition that Rogers is spending $50-million over five years to address the excessive time young people spend on screens. A Canadian Press dispatch to The Globe says Rogers launched a national school program Thursday that Tony Staffieri, chief executive officer, said is meant to change behaviour and help youth develop healthy relationships with screens. It involves bringing professional athletes to schools to talk about healthy screen use. Rogers says it is also creating grants for up to four youth organizations that encourage physical activity and will commission an annual study on youth screen time. The Internet, mobile and TV service provider also touted Rogers apps that allow parents to set time limits on kids' phones and monitor the amount of time spent on popular apps. Rogers commissioned an on-line Angus Reid survey of 1,212 parents of 11- to 17-year-olds with smart phones, and 503 children, between Oct. 30 and Nov. 11, 2025. It found tween and teen respondents spent more than five hours a day on average on their phones. Parents, meanwhile, underestimated their kids' screen time by about 90 minutes a day. Those with the most screen time reported lower quality of life.
