OUR VALUES

The fundamental beliefs defining the work the Saskatchewan Literacy Network does:

  • We believe that literacy is a basic human right.
  • We believe that literacy training is a social responsibility.
  • We believe literacy is lifelong learning.

  • We believe in clear and open communication.
  • We believe in respect for different needs and cultures.
  • We believe in quality literacy information and programming.

OUR HISTORY

After the establishment of the National Literacy Secretariat and the Saskatchewan Literacy Campaign in 1988, a number of new literacy initiatives began in Saskatchewan. Practitioners in these projects and other existing literacy programs identified a need for improved communication and coordination. The Saskatchewan Literacy Network was the first Saskatchewan organization to bring together all agencies and individuals involved in adult literacy. It was one of the first provincial coalitions in Canada. The Saskatchewan Literacy Network office opened on November 1, 1989.

The Saskatchewan Literacy Network continues to support [email protected], [email protected] and Literacy in the Community.
