2001 Canada Year Book

The 2001 edition of the Canada Year Book is available today. This work invites readers on a voyage of discovery as it examines the people and culture of Canada's vast, ocean-fringed land.

First published in 1867, the Canada Year Book has become the premier reference resource on the social and economic life of Canadians.

Enjoyable and easy to read, the Canada Year Book draws on various Statistics Canada surveys to describe leading Canadian social, economic and environmental trends. Works by some of the nation's best photographers and artists enrich the book's 15 chapters, while detailed tables and figures zero in on today's important issues.

Feature articles invite readers to discover distinctive aspects of life in Canada: What does the average household spend most of its income on? How many men are now stay-at-home fathers? What percentage of Canadians exercise? What is the most commonly spoken mother tongue after English and French in Canada? For work, home or school, this edition of the Canada Year Book is sure to engage, enlighten and educate readers.
