Beanie's Quest

What we do

  • The Centre for Family Literacy takes a proactive, family centred approach to programming.
  • We champion lifelong learning.
  • The Centre builds capacity through training in the practice of family literacy.

How we do it

  • The Centre creates learner-centered, strength-based, responsive programs, training, and services.
  • We collaborate and create connections to strengthen communities. 
  • Raising awareness of the importance of literacy and its impact on individuals, families and communities is a priority.
