CBC’s 17th edition of CANADA READS will be hosted by CBC Laugh Out Loud’s Ali Hassan.

Debating the question “What is the one book to open your eyes?” this year’s battle of the books will challenge readers to look differently at themselves, their neighbours and the world around them.

Seating is general admission and first come, first served. Should we reach full capacity in the studio, overflow seating will be available to follow the event on a big screen.

The CBC building is fully accessible. Please contact us at cbcbooks@cbc.ca to confirm accessible seating arrangements.
