MEET THE CANADA READS 2022 CONTENDERS, CBC

What is the one book all of Canada should read? It's time for Canada Reads 2022.
In these days of isolation, we're exploring stories that inspire readers to reflect on community and who we are in the
world we live in. Over four days, five Canada Reads champions will bring their diverse perspectives to this year's theme:
One Book to Connect Us.
The champions and their chosen books are:
Ojibway author and Vogue fashion writer Christian Allaire champions Five Little Indians by Michelle Good
Actor and activist Malia Baker champions Scarborough by Catherine Hernandez
Entrepreneur and former Syrian refugee Tareq Hadhad champions What Strange Paradise by Omar El Akkad
Forest ecologist and author Suzanne Simard champions Life In the City of Dirty Water by Clayton Thomas-Müller
Olympian and LGBTQ2+ advocate Mark Tewksbury champions Washington Black by Esi Edugyan
The debates will take place March 28-31, 2022.
They will be hosted by Ali Hassan and will be broadcast on CBC Radio One, CBC Listen, CBC TV, CBC Gem and on CBC
Books.
