DIVORCES IN CANADA
Rising sharply over the total for the preceding year, the number of divorces granted in Canada in 1946 was 7554, as compared with 5076 in 1945, an increase of 49 per cent., according to preliminary figures released by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. All provinces had more divorces than in 1945, advances ranging from as low of 29 per cent, for Ontario to 123 per cent, for New Brunswick. Although Ontario and British Columbia granted more divorces in 1946 than other sections of Canada, percentage increases in these two provinces were lower than the average for Canada as a whole.
