We're Reading Canadian - Coast to Coast!
Same Page is excited to launch Read Coast-to-Coast, a new reading challenge that highlights Canadian books and authors!
From February 21st – April 30th, 2026, readers of all ages are invited to try books from five regions across the country for a chance to win a prize.
Not sure where to start? Each region has its own book list with recent Canadian titles in English and French, including separate lists for youth and adults. These Canadian books will take you across the country, all from the comfort of your home!
How to Participate
Get a free Contest Map from your local library, or print one from the Same Page website:
English Map | French Map
Read one book by a Canadian author from each of these five regions:
- Atlantic
- Central
- Prairies
- West Coast
- Northern
You can use the book lists provided by Same Page or pick your own book from each region.
After you finish a book, bring your contest map to your local library to get a Travel Stamp (sticker), and be entered into a draw to win a local prize!
When you collect all five stamps, you’ll get a bonus sticker and an extra entry into the prize draw!
