It’s one of the most anticipated reports of the year, the Canadian Leisure & Reading Study 2020, where we ask 1,253 English-speaking Canadians over the age of 18 all about their leisure and reading habits over the past year.
We’ve released the entire study for free, we’ve given you the highlights, but now comes the interactive part: our quiz about how your leisure and reading activities stack up compared to the rest of Canada.
Were you surprised by places you were similar or different to Canadians? Want to know even more about what Canadians do in their spare time? There’s so much to learn in this report about readers and their behaviour. The Canadian Leisure & Reading Study 2020 is a free report, so download your copy now and feel free to share widely!
