Personal distance is the normal distance Canadians keep between themselves when engaging in regular conversations. This distance ranges from 1.5 to 4 feet and is considered appropriate for business conversations or conversations with acquaintances. Social distance (6-12 feet) is reserved for formal settings, while public distance (12-25 feet) is used in public speaking situations.  Intimate distance (less than 1.5 feet) is reserved for close relationships and is not typically used in regular conversations with acquaintances.
