Comparison of Urban and Rural Participation Rates for the Canada Learning Bond

The table below provides a breakdown of the urban and rural Canada Learning Bond participation rates, number of beneficiaries and number of eligible children for CLB by province and territory as of December 31, 2010. At the national level, the participation rate is higher in urban areas (23%) than the participation rate in rural areas (16.1%).

In some jurisdictions, the urban and rural participation rates are very close. This is true for Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia and Yukon. In other jurisdictions, the spread is a little wider, with Ontario and Manitoba having significant gaps between the urban and rural participation rates.
