Canada by the Book is highly successful FCM-supported program through which FCM board members donate books to a worthy institution such as a public library or school located in a participating municipality.
At every board meeting as well as FCM’s Annual Conference & Trade Show, FCM Directors and Committee members are invited to bring at least one children’s book written by an author from their own community or nearby. Their generous contribution is then donated to a chosen public institution of a winning municipality.
Since 2013, this initiative has aimed to foster a broader insight for young readers across Canada into life in different communities. Canada by the Book delivers an ever-expanding and readable legacy of different community realities—including those diverse cities, towns and regions where FCM comes together.
Since the start of the project, FCM members have donated over ― in both official languages to libraries in communities across the country.
As an FCM initiative, Canada by the Book is kindly supported by the Cement Association of Canada.
