    Read! For every six hours that you read, you’ll get one entry into our grand prize draw. 

    This summer, there are two ways to track your reading hours: 

    • On paper: Pick up a reading log at your nearest EPL branch. A reading log helps you keep track of the hours you've read over the summer. Fill out your reading log for every six hours that you read, and bring it back to your nearest EPL location to enter the grand prize draw.  
    • Online*: Can't come in to an EPL location? No problem - simply submit your hours at tdsummerreadingclub.ca. For every six hours you read, you'll get one entry into the grand prize draw.  

    *Please note: online entries are not eligible for a button prize.
