Canada’s regional reading gap

News From Canada where a new poll on the country’s reading habits shows that 15 per cent of Canadians aged 18 or older haven’t read a book in the last six months, including one in four Atlantic Canadians and one in five Quebecers.

Most Canadians (56 per cent) have read between one and 10 books in the last six months, and nearly one-quarter (23 per cent) have read between 11 and 50 books.


The most avid readers hail from British Columbia, where the percentage of people who have read 11 books or more in the last six months (40 per cent) far outnumber those who haven’t touched a book (seven per cent).
