Foster literacy in British Columbia!
September is Literacy Month. During this month, we lead a province-wide fundraising and awareness campaign. Literacy is Life raises awareness of the importance of literacy, and raises funds to support community-based literacy programs and initiatives across British Columbia.
The 2018 theme for Literacy Month was Fostering Literacy. Check out our Fostering Literacy calendar and videos for tips on how you can foster literacy throughout the year!
