Indie Bookstores Per Capita: Where Does Ontario Rank?
There aren’t many ways to destress that are as enjoyable as heading to your local bookstore and perusing the shelves to pick out the perfect book or gift. An independent bookstore also will often have a place to enjoy a cup of coffee or a treat as book-loving customers decide which tomes to take home.
Indie Bookstore Day is April 27. To celebrate independent bookstores in Canada, OntarioBets – taking a break from Ontario sports betting coverage – wanted to find out which Canadian regions love indie bookstores the most. Using the Indie Bookstore Locator on IndieBookstores.ca, we collected the number of indie bookstores in each province and territory. Then, we ranked the top 10 provinces and territories with the most independent bookstores per capita.

Overall, the leader in the independent bookstore race in Canada is the Northwest Territories, which has 4.470 per bool-loving capita, according to indiebookstores.ca website listings. Yukon (4.407), Prince Edward Island (1.703) and British Columbia (1.703) are the next closest.
Throw in Nova Scotia at 1.309 and Ontario’s 0.698 per capita figures and you have the top end of the Canadian leaderboard when it comes to the number of indie bookstores per capita in each province.
