Media Smarts: Young Canadians in a Wired World Phase III
This report is drawn from a national survey of Canadian youth conducted by MediaSmarts in 2013.

Life Online (the first in a series of reports from the survey) focuses on what youth are doing online, what sites they’re going to, their attitudes towards online safety, household rules on Internet use and unplugging from digital technologies.
