Increased supports for literacy programs in B.C. will help more children access services to develop skills that extend beyond the classroom.

The Province and the Northwest BC Resource Benefits Alliance (RBA) are working together to ensure the region’s economic development contributes to building strong, sustainable communities and delivers good-paying jobs for residents.

New funding to expand community-based literacy programs will help people of all ages learn new skills, communicate with confidence and engage fully in society.
