Family Literacy Day and Family Literacy Week in Saskatchewan

January 27 is Family Literacy Day! Canada has celebrated this day since 1999, thanks to ABC Life Literacy Canada. We are celebrating across the province, too!

This image helps us think about What's Happening: Family Literacy Day in Saskatchewan. The theme for 2025 is "Learn to Be Green, Together" and this image is shades of green in vector images of a light bulb with a tree inside on the left, and a set of different kinds of trees on the right.

This year’s theme is “Learn to Be Green, Together!”

Useful Family Literacy Day event resources:

Since ABC Life Literacy Canada started Family Literacy Day in 1999, we have worked together to raises awareness of the importance of reading and engaging in other literacy-related activities as a family. Every year, we celebrate Family Literacy Day in Saskatchewan. This is our second year for Family Literacy Week in Saskatchewan!
