Canadians and nature - environmental engagement, 2013 / by Environment, Energy and Transportation Statistics Division.: CS16-508/2015-4E-PDF

"Almost 1 in 5 (18%) Canadian households engaged in unpaid activities aimed at conservation or protection of the environment or wildlife. Households in Prince Edward Island were the most engaged with one-third of households reporting this, while those in Quebec were the least engaged (9%). Household composition appears to make a difference when it comes to environmental engagement. In households where there are only people between the ages of 25 and 44, 16% reported some manner of environmental engagement. Households that included children and teens, however, were more than twice as likely (36%) to have engaged in these types of activities. Seniors-only households were the least likely to have done this, with 11% reporting this type of activity"--p. 3.
