There was one doctor in P.E.I. who performed non-therapeutic [[circumcision]] of boys and made the incidence of circumcision the highest in Canada. He has now retired, so circumcision is not currently available in P.E.I. | |||

Non-circumcision or [[genital integrity]] is the NORM in all parts of Canada and has been for several decades. The last statistics were collected in 2006-7, so they are completely out-of-date. In the absence of any current statistical data, <b>IntactiWiki</b> offers the following estimates for 2026: | |||
<b>Prevalence of circumcision</b> is the percentage of all living Canadian males of all ages who are [[circumcised]]. The [[circumcised]] group is primarily composed of older English-speaking males. <b>IntactiWiki</b> estimates the prevalence of [[circumcision]] is about 25-30 percent. | |||
<b> | <b>Incidence of circumcision</b> is the percentage of Canada-wide newborn boys who are currently receiving [[child circumcision]]. This percentage will vary by locality. Many of these circumcised boys may have older [[circumcised]] fathers who [[Adamant father syndrome| adamantly insist that their son be circumcised]]. <b>IntactiWiki</b> estimates 10-15 percent of newborn boys are currently undergoing harmful, unnecessary, non-therapeutic [[child circumcision]]. | ||
