From a document titled:
What Mothers Say: The Canadian Maternity Experiences Survey
(Health Canada)

Among women with a male baby, 31.9% (95% CI: 30.3–33.6) reported circumcising their baby. There was marked regional variation in circumcision. In the 10 jurisdictions in which at least five circumcisions were reported, the proportion of women who reported having their male baby circumcised ranged from 44.3% (95% CI: 39.2–49.4) in Alberta and 43.7% (95% CI: 40.6–46.8) in Ontario to 9.7%† (95% CI: 5.2–14.2) in the Northwest Territories and 6.8%† (95% CI: 3.6–10.0) in Nova Scotia (Figure 38.1).

Another more interesting source concerns Ontario circumcision rates, and is broken down by county.

http://www.ices.on.ca/~/media/files...-care-in-ontario-2nd-edition/Full report.ashx
At page numbered 295 is a chart with cric rates in various Ontario counties.
These are from 1995. (so this woudl reflect 23 year old guys in Ontario.)

Essex county is above went from 74.2% down to 64.9% after circ was delisted.
Kingston went from 6.6% down to 3.7%
Toronto vaverages 21.2% but inside toronto, varies from 27% in East York down to 14.9% in York
( I assume this may have to do with areas that have large immigration).

Interestingly, between Kingston 3.7% and Québec (where circ has been low since roughly 1980)
"Eastern Ontario" is up there at 47%

I still remember as a kid visiting the Ontario Science Centre and seeing depiction of male organs without foreskin and no mention of circumcision because back then it was the norm. . With circ down to 22%, it is quite a sea change.

Let's hope the trend continues downward.

Another variable to take into account is the year you were born. Circumcision was more the norm 40+ years ago.

Ontario, born 1960.
