CBC's Canada Reads comes to Kelowna and Prince Rupert
Join us for free B.C. events featuring 2020 Canada Reads finalists.
Kelowna, March 5 and Prince Rupert, March 6
Consider yourself an avid or low-key bookworm? Join us for two special events featuring Canada Reads contenders!
CBC's Canada Reads is a "literary Survivor," with celebrities championing books. Each day, panellists vote to eliminate one book, until a single title is chosen as the title the whole country should read this year.
Leading up to the finale later this month, the authors are hitting the road! Check out these free B.C. events featuring 2020 Canada Reads finalists.
