Latest News About Canada Reads

Updated 2026-04-29 12:02

Here’s the latest I can share about Canada Reads.

Canada Reads is CBC’s annual "battle of the books" where five books are championed by different celebrities and debated, with one book ultimately winning each year. The event typically runs with daily debates and a final vote.[1]
The most recent notable update reported is that Shayla Stonechild championed A Two-Spirit Journey by Ma-Nee Chacaby and won Canada Reads 2025 after a close vote, marking the latest winner in the CBC series.[1]
Related content includes ongoing CBC Books coverage and official Canada Reads programming on CBC Gem YouTube episodes that recap Day One through Day Four, offering insights into the debates and the books involved.[9]

If you’d like, I can consolidate this into a quick snapshot or pull more specifics from CBC’s Canada Reads pages (e.g., the 2025 finalists, champions, and voting details) and provide direct links.
