Canada Book Day
April 23
Canada Book Day takes place on April 23 annually. The day promotes reading, books, and literacy. It is a nationwide celebration of literacy that also tries to promote education among young citizens. Books are man’s most steadfast companions. They offer comfort on sad days and add to our joys on happy days. Reading also makes us compassionate, improves vocabulary, sharpens memory, and refines our comprehension skills. Those who read from an early age are also known to resist serious illnesses such as dementia and Alzheimer’s better than those who don’t. There are truly so many benefits to reading.
