Canada Book Day is a yearly event celebrated in Canada on April 23 to promote reading and books during Canada Book Week. Canada Book Week takes place on the week of April 23.[1]
Canada Book Day is celebrated on the same day as World Book and Copyright Day, a yearly event organized by UNESCO to promote reading, publishing and the protection of intellectual property through copyright. The date was chosen by UNESCO to honour three writers of fiction, non-fiction and poetry—Miguel de Cervantes, William Shakespeare and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega— who each died on April 23, 1616.[2]
Canada Book Day was organized by the Writers' Trust of Canada, a national organization whose mandate is to represent writers and support Canadian English-language literature.[3] The Trust no longer organizes this event.[4]
