The Literacy Now Communities planning process builds community networks, partnerships and relationships to support literacy programming across BC. The Literacy Now Communities planning process:

  • assists communities to pool and build financial and human resources to address literacy issues;
  • identifies a network of community leaders across the province who can support communities to focus on literacy support;
  • provides a provincial overview of emerging issues, trends and potential solutions; 
  • helps communities to increase and maintain the literacy skills of individual community members.

The community-based planning process is outlined in 2010 Legacies Now's Community Literacy Planning Guide.



The Literacy Now Communities program is supported by the Province of BC.
