The survey by the Public Heath Agency of Canada is now well out of date and cannot be relied on for current information.
In all provinces and territories, only a minority of boys are being [[circumcised]]. Sheldon (2008) reported an incidence of 13.9 percent.<ref name="skeldon2008"/> The incidence of circumcision in Labrador and Newfoundland is reported to be close to zero.<ref>{{REFweb

The incidence of child circumcision in Canada varies by province, but the overall incidence is believed to be one-half or less than that of the [[United States]]. The above referenced survey (2006-7) provides the most recent available statistics on the incidence of non-therapeutic child circumcision in Canada but It is now becoming estimated that about 25 percent or 1 out-of-date4 boys in Canada are currently being [[circumcised]].
[[Foreskinned]] males appear to be in the majority in every province and territory.
