Do you have love for literature and consider yourself a bookworm? Join us at a special event in West Vancouver showcasing the Canada Reads 2025 contenders.

CBC's Canada Reads features five celebrities championing books, including B.C.-based wellness advocate and podcaster, Shayla Stonechild, and Vancouver-based actress and director, Michelle Morgan. Through the process of elimination, panellists vote until a single title is chosen as the title Canada should read this year. 

Ahead of the finale later this month, CBC's Heartland actor Michelle Morgan, who is championing the novel Etta and Otto and Russell and James by Emma Hooper, will be featured at a free event hosted by CBC's Amy Bell at the West Vancouver Memorial Library.
