Authors: Michael Eden Reynolds, Joanna Lilley, Khâ sha, Ann MacDonald, Jamella Hagen, K. J. Munro, Larry Bagnell, Patricia Robertson, Christine Hakim, Joe Zucchiatti, Erling Friis-Baastad, Clea Roberts

This document was published by the Yukon Literacy Council (YLC) to launch a seasonal literacy campaign featuring the work of 12 local poets. During the campaign, which ran from November 30 to December 21, 2012, the poems were read on the local radio station and appeared in the local newspaper.

Members of the public were encouraged to download a poem to post at home and work, then let the YLC know by email or via Facebook that they had done so. They then had an opportunity to win prizes.

The 12 poems in the collection showcase a variety of styles and themes, though many of them reflect the experience of living in Canada’s northern region.

This is a report on the some of the key items discussed during three Literacy Cafés held by the Saskatchewan Literacy Network in early 2008 in in Regina, Swift Current and Yorkton, Saskatchewan. The purpose of these Cafés was to provide a networking opportunity for literacy stakeholders and to ask for information that would guide the Literacy Network including its conversations and communications with decision makers. Through these discussions, the Literacy Network hoped to learn about the current literacy activities in each region, what was working well, the challenges that literacy stakeholders were facing and observing, and the opportunities for action and change.

4. 2011 Census Adult Education Kit - Student workbook (2011)

Authors: Statistics Canada

This workbook is part of an adult education kit prepared by Statistics Canada to help adult literacy and English as a Second Language (ESL) students become familiar with the census process.

The census is taken every five years and asks questions about every person who lives in Canada. The answers are added together to provide information about the people who live in Canada, information that is used to help plan for services like health care, public transportation, police and fire protection, and education.

The workbook contains several activities to help learners understand how and why the census is conducted. Activities include conducting a student census; determining who should be included on the census form; deciding the listing order for household members; identifying family relationships; and matching census terms with their definitions.
