Adult literacy is getting a boost in the community thanks to funding from the provincial government.
The Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows Katzie Community Literacy Committee is receiving funding for their Lifelong Learning for Adults program – a program that promotes and supports adult, community, and family literacy and operates out of the Learning Room at the CEED Centre Neighbourhood House.
“While I don’t have an exact figure for the specific programs, all successful applicants were awarded their full requested amount, with the majority of programs receiving the maximum funding of approximately $32,000,” explained Devon Leathwood, spokesperson for the New Democrat BC Government Caucus.
