3. Brief to Senate Standing Committee On Social Affairs, Science and Technology (2007)
Re: Hearings on Literacy
Authors: Charles Ramsey, Debbie Burns, Sue Folinsbee, Brigid Hayes
In February 2007, members of NALD were invited by the Senate Standing Committee on Social Affairs, Science and Technology to participate in the ongoing national discussion on literacy and its impact on education and employment skills in Canada.
Outlined in this brief, The National Adult Literacy Database Inc. recommends that the Senate strongly urge Cabinet to:
1. Recognize that literacy is not simply a children's education issue;
2. Renew its commitment to provide leadership and work with partners to develop and implement a coherent pan-Canadian literacy strategy;
3. Repair the broken partnerships with the provinces and territories that are so vital to build capacity and coherence in a truly pan-Canadian strategy.

5. Reflections Paper (2005)
The Ontario Literacy Coalition's Workplace/Workforce Literacy Symposium
Authors: Ontario Literacy Coalition (OLC), Sue Folinsbee
This paper was written in May 2005 for the Ontario Literacy Coalition's Workplace/Workforce Symposium, which brought together delegates representing business, labour, literacy organizations, adult learners, adult education and training organizations, and government.

This paper attempts to begin identifying and clarifying the multiple voices and interests of those with a stake in this field. It is not an exhaustive survey but, rather, presents the results of surveying a small number of people from provincial and national organizations that represent large constituencies in Ontario.
The document includes background information; information on workplace literacy approaches and partnerships; consultations with stakeholders in preparation for the symposium; a summary; and an appendix.
